DANCE & MUSICAL THEATRE COURSES

Dance World Studios is celebrating over 30 years in the dance industry. Dance World Studios was established in 1987 with a vision: to provide young people with the opportunity to realise their dreams through the creation of a vocational arts training institution offering dance & musical theatre courses. 

During this time, Dance World Studios has earned itself a reputation as a leading Australian dance academy & performing arts school. We believe that students of all ages should have the opportunity to participate in the performing arts and have extended our ongoing dance & musical theatre programs to young students aged between 3-18 years. These programs include a range of dance, singing and acting classes for children and teens.
We believe that success is achieved in developing raw talent to meet industry requirements. Equally importantly, is the encouragement we offer students to achieve their artistic potential. In meeting our dance academy’s obligations as a vocational provider, we are fortunate to have the support of a teaching faculty of international & national repute, who instil a sense of integrity & inspiration through the quality of their work.

Our administration team has an outstanding track record in Arts management and the professional industry, and continue to provide ongoing support to students and creative staff.
