We're a not-for-profit organisation, continually reinvesting in teachers, students & success!

We’re honoured to deliver core subject syllabi in Ballet, Tap, Modern & Contemporary, created by industry professionals with a combined 200+ years of expertise.
💫 Giving you a strong, trusted foundation to build confident, capable dancers.

But we’re more than just syllabi…

Our friendly office team is available Monday to Friday, 10am–4pm, ready to support you every step of the way. From your very first exam session to competition guidance and beyond — you’ll always have someone to turn to.

👩‍🏫 Expert Advice On Hand

With examiners often available in the office, you can access knowledgeable guidance whenever you need it.

💻 Dedicated Tech Support
