Curtains Up: A Magical Musical Adventure

For example, next summer as many of our magical children as possible will take to a real theatre stage for our full-scale production. Because of amazing costumes, spectacular lighting and songs from everyone’s favourite musicals, it will be a truly unforgettable experience.

Indeed, every child has a place in our story. After all, they don’t need to get every step right. Instead, they simply need the chance to have a go.

Our story

Where Our Dance Classes in Devon and Cornwall Began

Miss Amy founded Magical Tots in 2022 for her then 18-month-old daughter, Beau, after struggling to find a fun, age-appropriate local dance class. Then, with a First-Class degree in Musical Theatre and a background as an Early Years teacher, she set out to create a magical space where children could grow in confidence through dance.

Since then, two small classes in a community hall have grown into six venues, a theatre school, a cheerleading club and much more. As a result, our team of qualified teachers now inspires over 300 children every week.

“We’re not simply teaching dance. We’re creating opportunities, building confidence and making memories that last.”
