Courtney Payne
Dance Teacher

After taking a couple of years away from dancing to help her twin girls settle into their early school years, Courtney has transitioned from being a cover teacher back to a regular fixture in the studio.

​

Courtney began her dancing journey at the young age of 8, developing a strong passion for ballroom and Latin dance. By the time she was 10, she was representing England in numerous world championships and was a member of the British team.

​

With many titles to her name, Courtney made a bold move to Italy at the age of 13 to advance her dancing career under the guidance of top teachers and coaches. By the age of 20, she had returned to her homeland to begin a teaching career, eager to share her knowledge and experience with her students.

Today, Courtney balances her time between caring for her twin daughters and being an active presence in the studio.

She is no longer just a cover teacher but a regular part of the teaching staff once again.
