WELCOME TO DANCE1

​Established in the early 90’s, DANCE1 (then known as Gordon Ballet & Dance), began as a small dance school of roughly 50 students. In 2000, the studio’s then principal recognised the need to embrace a new era of dance. The result was DANCE1, a studio dedicated to providing every student equal opportunities

to shine. Even after 28 years of dance education, we have stayed true to our values.

 

We believe that every dancer, regardless of ability deserves to experience the joy of dance, a professional performance experience and a supportive community which encourages a lifelong passion for dance.

 

DANCE1 is more than just a dance studio; it’s a family.

​

OUR MISSION STATEMENT

​

At DANCE1 we want our students to feel the BUZZ & experience

the SPARKLE of dance. But it’s not just about the dancing. At the heart of DANCE1 we are committed to ‘creating good humans’

​

We are responsible for our students’ hearts, minds & bodies.

 

 

CORE VALUES​

​

Smiles & Sparkles

Everything we do at DANCE1 shines a little bit brighter as we spread smiles throughout the studio and add some extra sparkle.

​

Inclusive

We come together at the Studio to share our love for dance, and are celebrated for what we bring to each lesson - our determination, our smiles and our pointed toes. It is not the height of your kicks & leaps, but the improvement you make each time you do them

 

Family Oriented

When you join DANCE1, you are immediately welcomed into our family. We grow with you as your dancer does, and one a DANCE1 kid, always a DANCE1 kid.

 

Outstanding

We strive to make every service, lesson and experience an outstanding one. We are committed to excellence in every aspect of dance education to create a supportive, enriching environment for everyone who walks through our doors.

 

Upbeat & Vibrant

It’s the energy that fuels every aspect of our dance school. Our team embraces each lesson with a positive, fun attitude. We bring colour to every experience, whether through vibrant costumes, creative lighting, or lively music selections that spark joy and passion.

​

At DANCE1 we are committed to creating good humans with a focus on building confidence, kindness and resilience. We deliver smiles & sparkles in everything we do and give our families the most outstanding experience possible.

 

We are a family-oriented and supportive dance community where every dancer, no matter age or ability has the opportunity to shine and feel included. The energy is upbeat & vibrant and the bright eyes and confident smiles after our lessons speak for themselves.
