HOW IT ALL BEGAN BACK IN 2012

Johansen Dance Company was founded on 1st September 2012 by Helen Crabtree and Nathan Mark Street. They wanted to create an affordable and welcoming dance school for children of all ages and abilities giving every star a chance to shine. The school opened in a simple church hall at The Church of Ascension in Berwick Hills, Middlesbrough.

A mutual decision was made between the two founders that they would go their separate  ways to pursue different paths within dance for themselves and their students. Helen went on to open her new studio whilst Nathan remained at the studio and Nathan Mark Dance Academy was born on 1st November 2017.
