bbodance and City Academy: A Brand New Partnership

We are excited to announce a new collaboration between bbodance and City Academy! This unique opportunity will combine professional ballet training with dance teacher training, providing students with the best preparation for a successful career in dance.

All students enrolled in the City Academy Six-Month or One-Year Professional Ballet Training courses can simultaneously study the bbodance Level 4 Diploma Introduction to Dance Teaching course. This will enable students to gain an introductory dance teaching qualification whilst training for a professional dance career.

Fiona Knower, CEO of bbodance says: “I am absolutely delighted that bbodance will partner with City Academy to support their students as they embark on their journey to train as dance teachers. This is a fantastic way for talented, ambitious dancers to ensure they are fully equipped for different aspects of the dance sector. We can’t wait to welcome these students into the bbodance family and to provide exceptional training that complements the fantastic opportunities available via City Academy.”

Nuria Garcia, Artistic Director of Dance at City Academy says: "I am truly excited about this collaboration with bbodance. This feels like the perfect partnership, supporting dancers to grow not only as performers but also as teachers and well-rounded professionals. I look forward to the opportunities this will provide for our students.”

We are excited to begin inspiring the next generation of dance teachers and see this collaboration take off in 2026!
