Natalie Davenport

Teaching dance has been at the heart of my career for over 10 years. I have worked with children and adults across multiple dance disciplines, helping students develop confidence, technique, and creativity. In addition to teaching, I co-own a dance events company, coordinating several events each year in partnership with dance schools, managing venues, budgets, communications, and merchandise.

I am organised, approachable, and supportive, with a passion for creating positive experiences both in the studio and through successful dance events.
