At Academy of Dance Stanthorpe, we are passionate about dance and serious about safety. Our focus is on developing strong classical technique using knowledge of anatomy and biomechanics. We follow recommendations from the International Association for Dance Medicine and Science (IADMS) and aim to educate our students to avoid unsafe dance trends and 'hacks' that they often see online. By choosing an RAD Registered dance school with tertiary qualified teaching staff, you know your child will be in safe and respected hands. 

It's more than a dance class...


​At ADS you don't just learn to dance.  You learn the value of hard work and dedication; you learn discipline and respect.  You gain confidence in yourself and build strength that is not only physical but mental - all of which can be applied to everyday life.  

Our school is boutique by design with small classes to enable all students be given the personal attention they need in order to achieve their true potential.  We prioritise the individual rather than making money and growing a business.  As a student of ADS you are not just a number, you are an individual who is personally guided to be the best dancer that you can be.  
"Dance is the hidden language of the soul."
