After a very successful convention in October 2024, I am delighted to be able to announce that Devon Dance Centre will be holding our Cecchetti Classical Ballet Convention from Monday 26th to Wednesday 28th May 2025. The convention will focus on the Cecchetti Grades, Intermediate, Advanced 1, Advanced 2, Classical Variation, Teaching Pointe Work and Open Classes. We are very excited to announce that we have a new class added to our extensive timetable: Cecchetti Grade Queries- Biomechanics and Syllabus Discussion. This lesson can be done both in person and via Zoom. Both teachers and students of all ballet genres will be welcome to join us at this event. Book now to secure your place.

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.
