Dance Classes in Cambridge

Dance classes in Cambridge

Stardust Dance Academy runs children's dance classes across Cambridge and the surrounding area from two venues. For families in Cambridge itself, our closest base is Arbury Community Centre on Campkin Road in north Cambridge — a friendly, community venue right in the city. If you're looking for the widest range of classes and styles, our home studio at Northstowe Secondary College is a short drive up the guided busway corridor and offers our fullest weekly timetable.

Between the two, Cambridge families have access to a full programme of ISTD-graded dance — from first steps at 18 months right through to teens.

Two venues to suit you

Arbury Community Centre, Campkin Road — our north Cambridge base
If you're in Cambridge, this is your closest option. Arbury Community Centre sits at the heart of north Cambridge, well served by local buses, and is the natural choice for families in Arbury, Kings Hedges, Chesterton and the surrounding streets.

Northstowe Secondary College, Stirling Road — our home studio
A short hop up the A14 or the Cambridgeshire Guided Busway, Northstowe is where we run our broadest weekly programme. If there isn't a class at Arbury that fits your child's age and schedule, there almost certainly is at Northstowe — with free parking on site.

Cambridge parent questions

Which venue is best for Cambridge families?
Arbury Community Centre on Campkin Road sits right in north Cambridge, so it's the closest option for most city families. For the widest choice of classes and times, our Northstowe home studio is a short drive up the A14 or guided busway corridor.

Can we try a class before signing up?
Yes — every child can book a trial so you can see whether it's the right fit first. Just bring comfy clothes they can move in and a water bottle. Book a trial whenever you're ready.

From what age can my child start?
We welcome little ones from 18 months in Fairytale Ballet®, with Acro from age 4 and graded Ballet & Jazz from 5, right through to teens. Check the timetable for ages and times.
