Meet Miss Candice
I have been dancing for longer than I can remember however my Dance Journey started a bit differently to most. I started out as a Physie girl (Physical Culture) and it wasn’t until I was 10 years old that I took my first Jazz class. The rest they say is history as it wasn’t long before I was dancing every afternoon taking as many classes as I could.
I have loved dancing and performing my whole life, but it was when I was 15 that I became a Student Teacher and fell in love with teaching. I enjoyed sharing my love of dance with the next generation. I loved helping them through their challenges and celebrating every little achievement and success. It was during the few years that followed that I realized I would one day be a Studio Owner.
I truly believe dance is for everyone which is why I strive to provide an inclusive environment for our dancers. My aim for our Studio is to create a safe space where we will inspire confidence in our students to empower them to reach their full potential.

Testimonials
Our little Miss 3 has absolutely loved her first term with Miss Candice. I cringed the 1st week watching her run around wild not listening, then loved each week peeping in at the end seeing the growth and love of being part of her dance class. Thank you.
