Coda Music and Arts

At Blue Butterfly Studios, we offer a variety of different dance classes for children and adults. Our ethos is, and has always been, to let the students have fun! We can learn better in a fun, friendly and enjoyable environment and that’s what we aim to provide at our studios! We also offer students performance opportunities and the option of working towards IDTA Grades, Medals and Awards. The Blue Butterfly brand was formed by Amy Fern, the owner and Managing Director of Blue Butterfly Studios. We also offer 3 studios and office space for hire.

From grassroots origins to international audiences, we produce high-quality dance projects, develop artistic careers and improve wellbeing for our participants. Our medium is the classical Indian dance of Odissi. Originating from the Bay of Bengal over two thousand years ago, Odissi deals with contemporary and classical themes that remain just as relevant in storytelling today. Its narratives are researched and presented to audiences as both movements and rasas, representing emotions of real life experiences such as love, devotion, anger and playfulness. Our dancers and artists deliver renowned workshops and performances that bring Odissi to thousands of new audience members every year.
