Miss Zoe - ZC Principle
Miss Zoe began dancing as a young child after watching a live dance performance with her family and announcing she wanted to 'dance like the big girls!'. Within a few weeks her mum had enrolled her into a local dance school and here Zoe trained in a wide range of dance styles taking examinations up to Advanced level with RAD and ISTD. After completing school Zoe applied to study dance full time at college where received 100% in her practical examinations. By this stage Zoe had decided that dance teaching was the pathway she was passionate about and she gained a place at The University of Chichester to study her first dance degree, BA (Hons) Dance. Zoe specialised in dance teaching throughout her degree training in both the public and private sector. Upon completing her first degree, Zoe was offered a place on the University's Masters degree programme allowing her to spend a fourth year at University refining her skills. Zoe's MA again focused on dance teaching and education, examining correct teaching techniques, anatomy of growing dancers and much more. During her fourth year Zoe continued to teach in academic settings and private dance schools. It was during this year that ZC Dance was born. Zoe put all of her education and training into opening a Devon based dance school that represents everything she believes in. Compassionate dance classes that are inspiring, uplifting and taught to the highest standards.
Zoe completed further training with The National Association of Teachers of Dancing, UKA Dance, Acrotrix and NPAA that allow her to enter dancers for exams.
Zoe is fully committed to her dance school and her students. She strives to encourage the creativity of young people whilst guiding them through their own dance journey.

Darcy - Trainee Teacher
Darcy began her dance journey at ZC shortly after the school was established. Over her time at the school Darcy has studied a variety of dance subjects, growing into a fantastic dancer and finding a passion for teaching. Each year Darcy has taken examinations and received top marks that have set her up beautifully for her next step in her dance career.
Darcy is following in Miss Zoe’s footsteps, currently studying Musical Theatre at College alongside her Level 3 Teaching Assistant course with ZC with the goal of qualifying as a Dance Teacher within the next few years.
Darcy is an outstanding role model who brings joy and enthusiasm to all of her classes.
