In this episode of Let's Talk with Local Businesses, Reg Lee sits down with Katie and Shai from Kingdom Academy, a thriving dance school based in Cheltenham.

Katie shares her lifelong passion for dance, which began at just two years old, and the journey of turning that passion into Kingdom Academy nearly two years ago. Joined by Shai-who first became involved as a parent—the conversation explores how the academy has grown into a welcoming, community-focused space that puts confidence, self-esteem, and personal development at the heart of everything they do.

Together, they talk about the wide range of dance styles on offer, including contemporary, jazz, and hip-hop, with classes available for everyone from toddlers to adults. They also discuss the day-to-day running of the academy, their unique and affordable pricing structure, and the importance of making dance accessible to families.

The episode also looks ahead to the future, with plans to expand classes across more days of the week, alongside highlights such as their much-loved annual Christmas show. A warm and inspiring conversation that reveals the passion, people, and purpose behind one of Cheltenham's growing dance communities.
