The Dance Academy
Website
When my daughter started with The Dance Academy she was excited to learn a variety of different dance styles. I first put her in dance for fitness but she grew a love for dance and a love for her teacher. Dawn has provided her with important lessons and as the studio has grown so has my daughter. The variety of different dance styles that are offered is phenomenal especially living in small town Maleny.

Currently my daughter is doing Acro and since the start of this term, I have been able to see the enormous development of her skills. The staff know each dancers ability as well as limitations and they are just able to push the envelope to provide excellent results. I can't say enough outstanding words to express how working great this studio is and how my daughter looks forward to going every week.

Our daughter is thoroughly enjoying her kindy dance class with Miss Dawn at The Dance Academy, and it is an absolute highlight in her week. Miss Dawn is kind, nurturing and professional, and her classes are organised, inclusive and, most importantly, so much fun. We couldn't have asked for a better introduction to the world of ballet, jazz and all things dance!

My girls love their Acro and Ballet lessons with Miss Anna in Mapleton. Dawn runs a very professional dance school and really makes the extra effort to create a little community with all the dance kids.
