Direct Dance Company

Julie Gibbon and Debbie Hawkins have built a welcoming community at Direct Dance Company for players of all ages in the heart of Norwich. With over 30 years of experience and now hosting over 200 students, they offer classes in Ballet, Tap, Modern, Jazz, and Acrobatics, starting from just 3 years old up to adults.

At Direct Dance Company, players are coached at their own pace, honing technique, strength, flexibility, and coordination in a safe, supportive environment. Unique to the school are monthly Junior and Senior Acrobatic Workshops open to all.

Julie, who found her love for dance early on, and Debbie, who began dancing from the age of 5 and went on to a professional career, combine their vast experiences to provide top-tier training. They are joined by Hannah, a talented teacher who grew up dancing with them and now shares her passion as a qualified instructor.

The focus extends beyond teaching dance techniques to fostering a supportive, inclusive community. Direct Dance Company is a space where everyone can develop, grow, and express themselves through movement. The commitment to excellence and passion for dance have made it a pillar in the Norwich community, inspiring players at every level.
