Best dance school in the area if you're looking for a range of genres! This school will nurture your child's strengths regardless of whether it's ballet, acrobatics/flex, singing, tap, anything... this school is for everyone and a great option for young kids too who are still exploring their interests! My daughter is now one of the most senior students and she has tried a couple of dance schools so we know what to look for. This school can be recreational or help your child progress a career in the industry, it's the perfect balance! Most dance schools are either one way or the other (very recreational

My daughter joined ADV 2 years ago when she was 3 years old. She loves dancing and performing and under the training and guidance of Tamara and her ADV teachers, her skills have blossomed. ADV are equipped to nurture talent and they have given her the opportunity to develop her passion through solo coaching and team competition/extension training. The teachers are highly experienced, engaging and caring. They foster a professional, fun, positive learning environment for recreational dancers as well as competition/performance dancers.

I have two daughters who have been part of this school for three years now and I can vouch that Miss Tamara and her team of staff are so encouraging and inclusive with children of all ages and abilities. At ADV students develop technique while having so much fun along the way. Every opportunity is offered to students who wish to pursue dance as a career path and this year three ADV students were accepted into VCASS!!

Academy of Dance Victoria is a great dance school with encouraging, inspirational, professional and experienced teachers, and friendly students and families. There are wonderful opportunities for students of all skill levels. ADV has been a 2nd home to my two daughters for the past 7 years. A place where they feel safe, supported and valued. My girls have been provided with quality training which has prepared them for ballet exams, solo and troupe competitions and auditions with exceptional results. I see daily how much joy ADV brings to my girls!

My daughter moved from a famous dancing school when she was grade two in Primary school. She would tell me she wasn't feeling well to skip dance classes. Now she's been with ADV for more than 5 years, she has found her passion, friends, discipline and other life experience from there - teachers, peer classmates or even those much younger than her. I enjoy the journey to see her becomes a confident teenage which ADV plays a big role. Now she would ask me to still take her to the classes to watch when she's really unwell in case she misses something. :-)
