Hear what our fantastic community enjoys about dance

"My three girls have been attending Em.J Dance for 9 years. From toddlers to teens Em.J have provided them with a safe, creative space where they can be free to express themselves. They have created a community where friendships grow, where the teachers nurture and guide them and where they help my girls feel supported in not only their dance but also themselves as people. It’s been heartwarming knowing they have the best interest for my kids."

Lori Lay

"We just love the warm, kind and supportive environment that Em.J Fitness & Dance provides for our daughter, Mila. Having weekly Tap/Jazz, Acro and Hip Hop classes are absolutely the highlight of Mila’s week. She is encouraged to be the best she can be, and is able to take risks and freely express her joy and passion for dancing..."

"Addison has been attending Em.J dance school for a year now and it is her favourite place in the world. She has learnt so much from Emily & Peta. She has made huge progress with her dancing but also these classes have built her confidence and made a lot of new friends. It’s a beautiful dance school, and we’re very lucky to be apart of it."
