Welcome to DanceMode Academy

My name is Suzanne Mendonca and I am the founder of DanceMode Academy, Principal - Coulsdon Branch, director of Dance Teacher Training (DTT) and the creator of the ‘MIA’ learning formula. By making dance lessons Motivational, Interesting and Achievable in a safe and friendly environment I can help your child achieve their aims, build their confidence and develop a positive attitude. I am a UK qualified Primary School Teacher, mother and professional dance educator who has both the experience and qualifications to build your child’s confidence through dance.
At DanceMode Academy children aged 3-18yrs of all abilities are welcomed by my team to take part in fun dance performances, IDTA dance exams and friendly local competitions. Our ethos is to provide fun dance classes where children feel happy, safe and comfortable. Our classes are structured to include praise, reward systems and socialising dance games to help children from all different backgrounds who may be shy or lack confidence. DanceMode Academy are different to many other dance schools as we strive to offer dance classes that develop the confidence and positive attitude of each individual child.
We are local community dance schools that has been established since 2002. The DanceMode family continues to grow and I am pleased to have some of my original students training with me on an apprenticeship to become qualified IDTA Dance Teacher Assistants and Teachers. All staff in my dance school were former students of mine who have now all progressed through the 'DMA Dance Teacher Training Apprenticeship" to become competent, qualified professionals who also share my passion of helping children become more confident and happy, positive individuals. Our students receive expert tuition in a safe environment with suitably qualified professionals and have equal access to performance opportunities. As a result, our children are more confident, positive and happier and look forward to attending our dance classes each week.
