Devon Dance Centre is in the idyllic Babbacombe, Torquay. This prime location in the charming suburb of St Marychurch offers an ideal setting for a dance intensive. St Marychurch is known for its delightful pedestrianised precinct, featuring a variety of independently owned boutiques and family-run businesses, creating a welcoming and vibrant atmosphere.

The area is rich in history, with two historic church towers dominating the skyline, adding to its unique character. For leisure activities between dance sessions, the nearby South West Coast Path provides scenic walking routes along beautiful Babbacombe Bay, offering breathtaking views and a refreshing coastal experience.

Our centre boasts two spacious and beautifully designed dance studios, each with professional sprung flooring, full-length mirrors, and top-quality sound systems—the perfect setting for dancers of all levels to train safely and express themselves freely.

Additionally, St Marychurch is home to attractions such as Bygones, a heritage family attraction showcasing over 100 years of British history, authentic curiosities, and quirky memorabilia. The combination of Devon Dance Centre’s excellent facilities and the charming surroundings of St Marychurch makes it a wonderful place to immerse yourself in our Cecchetti Classical Ballet Conventions, while also taking time to rewind and relax.
