Wonderful and professionally run dance school. We have been coming for 3 years so far and look forward to many more.

We also recently held our daughters 3rd birthday at the school ‘dance star party’. All the children loved it and everything was taken care of and very easy. Oldest child there was 6 and still enjoyed it.

Highly recommend this amazing dance school!

Fantastic dance school, not only in terms of what the students learn like steps but they also grow in confidence. This is a place of "joy" the vibe is wonderful, teachers professional and patient but not "pushy". They have time for every student and are each treated as valued individuals with skills that can be nurtured.

Our daughter (15 years old) commenced classes with ACPA Studio last year and has loved learning and growing across multiple dance genres and with a variety of outstanding teachers. The concerts are of a high standard (not too long - ideal as a parent!) and she is thriving on extending herself in a welcoming environment.

ACPA has been a massive part of my life for the past 5 years. After doing many years of full time training and also after hours classes, i can safely say that this school has had such an incredible impact on my life. It is so much more than a dance school, it is a home for me.

All of the teachers are so passionate about what they do, and they’re all extremely talented. They have taught me so many useful things, dance related but also have helped me mature, and grow into the person i am today. They have all been such outstanding role models in my life. 100% recommend this school to anyone who is wanting to take dance seriously, but also it’s amazing for those who just want to have fun :)))

My daughter has been a part of the ACPA family for the last 10 years. She has learnt all aspects of dance, musical theatre and singing at a high level. She has also been apart of the Dance Academy and is now studying full time dance in readiness for her to go to the next level in her life/career. We have been very happy with her training and she has made some fabulous friends and had so many wonderful experiences and memories to treasure of her time at ACPA. I can highly recommend ACPA
