My daugthers go to Dance Theatre Arts. They have a a specialized training program in ballet that starts from 7+ years.


Although they are a new school. The teachers have good credentials.
They continue to still give workshops overseas. They relate well to the students and really motivate them to develop a love and passion for dance. They train the children to be very independent and work for themselves.

If you would like a taste of their programs. You can try out their summer school in June every year. It is fanstastic, and there is a fair amount of international participants. Their website is http://www.dancetheatrearts.net

Try Dance Theatre Arts I am extremely happy We found them and my girls love it.


The teachers are extremely professional and up to date with dance around the world. Exams are offered but not made an emphasis. They train using a different approach where the children progress much faster. They also have a wholistic program for different range of interest.

I tried SBA and Sylvia McCully, and Crestar Marine Parade and Thomson my daughter 8 and 11 years old are very interested but at these schools they didn't seem to be improving. It felt a waste of my money. But since coming to Dance Theatre Arts they have not only improved in dancing but are also developing confidence in themselves.

They train for overseas festivals. I do not hesitate to affirm that the advance students of Dance Theatre Arts Company can match up to the standard of dance that I observe internationally on my travels. They are able to dance so many different dance styles.

It is definitely a practical and alternative path to the School of the Arts, and I dare say the standard of their 10-12 year olds are higher than SOTA graduating students. It's really amazing what the teachers help the students to achieve. The environment is so warm and supportive.
