More than a
Dance school
We strive to create a culture of acceptance, kindness, and support. When you join NMDA you are more than a dancer, you are a member of the dance family. Years from now when you look back on this moment we hope you know that joining NMDA was the best decision you ever made. Let this be the moment you found more than a dance studio, you found a dance family!
OUR STORY
Nathan Mark Dance Academy (formerly Johansen Dance Company) was founded on 1st September 2012. The mission was to create an affordable and welcoming dance school for children of all ages and abilities giving every star the chance to shine. The school opened in a simple church hall at The Church of Ascension in Middlesbrough.

Shannon lax
Student Teacher
Shannon has been training dancers for 7 years alongside Nathan. Shannon has a BSc in Sociology and a Masters in Education from Teesside University. She started her dancing journey at this studio when she was 11 and she continued to compete for 10 years before making the decision to stop so she could begin teaching at the studio.
As a dancer, Shannon completed all of her NCDTA medallist examinations and choreography awards. Shannon believes that every child should have the chance to dance and that a dance school is a family unit.
She says that "when you dance, you can enjoy the luxury of being you".
WHAT OUR families SAY...
"My daughter has been dancing at this dance school for 4 years and in that time she has gone from a shy quiet girl and grown in confidence and has built up a lovely friendship with the other pupils too. She goes up and down the country competing in competitions and has a passion for dancing since being here"
