TESTIMONIALS

Alice

“Today we had the Theatre Rehearsal for Charley’s dance concert in a couple of weeks... she had such a blast and was in her element, but more importantly I was so very impressed by the community I found myself in. Not only was I in the company of such talented dancers and performers I was quite taken aback by the how powerful, strong and hardworking the community of young women around me were. I really felt like I was in one of the most inspiring environments I had been in for sometime. I am very happy for Charley to have these amazing women as some of her role models!”

Angela

“I love SDA, I felt right at home from the first class. I was ecstatic to find Intermediate level Adult classes, outside of the dedicated adult schools. For the first time, I’m not the only adult doing some of the senior girls level classes. When my teacher first asked if I was going to do the ballet exam I snorted with laughter, however she gets the last laugh as my friend and I are now seriously considering doing it next year (en pointe!).Adult Jazz is seriously fun, and a decent workout at the same time, both brain and body! If you’re debating whether to come back to dancing, you absolutely should, but be warned, it’s addictive!”

Fiona

“My daughter, didn’t start dancing until she was 12. The support and encouragement she received at SDA over the past 6 years have helped her learn, to embrace so many styles and want to strive to do more. She has now moved to Melbourne to pursue a career in musical theatre. As a parent, I found Shilleena to be an enthusiastic leader, of a great team. A great communicator. The fees are reasonable, the payment process is simple. There are no surprises. You know up front what your commitments are for the whole year, when the extra classes are on, when the concert and rehearsals are happening.”

Nadia

“I have danced at Shilleena’s Dance Academy for over 10 years and have not only had the joy of learning the craft of dance but also been provided with many opportunities that have shaped my career for what it is today. Dancing at Shilleena’s has become a family affair with both my siblings and my mother taking classes. Shilleena and her experienced team work everyday to improve dancers technique, knowledge and passion for dance. Dancing at Shilleena’s Dance Academy is more than just a creative outlet, it has allowed me to belong and become part of a family.”

Melissa

“It is really hard to put into words how much our family values the creative environment you provide for our children. But here goes. SDA provides a family environment, that encourages and challenges my girls creativity. With a group of passionate teachers that believe in their students. Moving my girls to SDA was the best thing we have ever done.”

I highly recommend this dance school.”

“SDA has been a wonderful dance school for both of my daughters. I feel as though SDA is not just a "one size fits all" dance school. One of my daughters thoroughly enjoys dancing as a hobby, whereas the other enjoys participating in multiple classes and exams. Both of my girls feel supported and valued as a dancers - it's brilliant!"”

“All of the teachers and students at Shilleena's Dance Academy are supportive, caring and inclusive. This dance school has helped to develop confidence, strength, discipline and a safe supportive environment for our daughter. We could not ask for more. Our daughter is given all the opportunities she could wish for in a dance school, but without unnecessary pressure.”

“I feel very lucky to be a part of this wonderful and supportive dance school. My daughter started dancing in her mid teens and I started as an adult, and we have both had nothing but support from the amazing teachers at Shilleena's. Everyone ensures our classes are about fun as well as learning. I have met some wonderful people and look forward to going to dance classes. The teachers go out of their way to ensure everyone is happy and getting the most out of their classes. I recommend Shileena's to anyone who mentions they are looking for a dance school because I know their experience will be a positive one.”
