kids dance classes

Since 1999, our family oriented dance studio has been dedicated to fostering a love for dance in a nurturing environment. We prioritise fun and enjoyment alongside skill development.

With our small class sizes, each student receives personalised attention and encouragement, ensuring a safe and supportive learning atmosphere.

Our mission is to build confidence and enhance social skills through dance, empowering children to thrive both on and off the dance floor.

Learn more about what we do

All our classes follow a structured approach, starting with easier steps and progressing in difficulty over the year. This encourages students to learn and master steps to the best of their ability, with their strength and fitness developing throughout the year.

Building confidence in performing these steps is a key focus, culminating in the opportunity to showcase their skills on stage at our annual dance concert held in November.

We are very pleased to be a registered Active and Creative Kids provider - get $100.00 off!

The kids tell us:

"I have been dancing since I was 3 and I love it. It is so much fun and you make nice friends, the teachers are amazing and the dances and concert are so much fun." - Katie (9)
"It's really good. I have made great friends and it's really fun to learn the dances and I really like the concert at the end of the year. It helps me stay fit. I love ballet." - Chrissy (12)
"I like how there is no pressure and you can just be yourself. The dances are enjoyable and fun to learn. Great friends and teachers too." - Melinda (15)
“The people are very nice and easy to get along with as well as the teachers. I enjoy coming along to stay active as well as to learn new dances each week.” - Liz (15)
"It was fun. The costumes were good and not too girly as I'm a boy. I love the concert every year." - Jayson (11)

and the adults say:

"My eldest daughter has just started at A1 Dance Studio and has had so much fun ever since. My daughter talks endlessly about dancing and enjoys her teachers' and the other students' company. The teachers understand children and that they differ and they teach to this. Every child in the class is encouraged gently and it is so wonderful to find a studio that values fun over competition! I am so glad I found this studio through friends and I hope to be able to bring my younger daughter if she would like to do dancing also. Thank you to the beautiful A1 team!" - L.B.
"I have been with A1 Dance Studio for over 10 years and love this dance studio. Every student is welcomed and it feels more like an extended family than a studio. I love that every student receives a trophy at the end of year concert. The teachers are lovely and the students appreciate the non-competitiveness of the studio." - J.P.
"My daughters have danced with A1 Dance Studio for the last 8 years, and loved every moment. So much so that my eldest daughter is now a trainee teacher there. Both girls have always been encouraged to do their best, and it has been great to see their skills develop under Miss Alison's patient and enthusiastic teaching style. The other students at the studio are also very friendly and encouraging to each other. I highly recommend this dance school where every child is valued and given opportunities to shine." - A.T.
“My daughter has just started in the Preschool class and her whole life revolves around whether it is Friday/dance afternoon or not. She has grown socially and in confidence and her gross motor skills are far beyond her friends. I had no idea dance schools like this existed! Well done A 1!” - L.V.
