The Academy’s teaching philosophy sits at the heart of what the Academy is all about. We believe that everyone can experience the joy of dance regardless of ability. Students always learn best when they enjoy what they do. Therefore, through positive encouragement, the students can create idyllic childhood memories. Our caring teachers produce enjoyable and fun classes to ensure everyone can share the love of dance.

Many students over the years have been offered positions within the Australian Ballet school, the Australian ballet school junior interstate program, the Boston Ballet School, Western Australia Academy of Performing Arts, the Joffrey Ballet school, Victorian College of the Arts, the MacDonald College plus a number of professional contracts with dance companies both in Australia and overseas.
