Dance for life

Dance Legacy is growing every week.

Dance Legacy is a dance studio based in Pakenham offering expert tuition by experienced teachers for students aged 18 months to adult.

It offers classes for not only the serious dancer but also those who purely want enjoyment and recreation.

The team at Dance Legacy prides itself on having an experienced faculty that promises to provide excellent training coupled with fun, fitness and endless laughter.

Studio owners and teachers Miss Danielle and Miss Loren have a combined 30-plus years dance teaching experience.

Over the years they have not only produced award-winning choreography but have fostered a love of dance in hundreds of students and have celebrated many achievements, no matter how big or small.

They were very excited to open their very own studio in 2021 and are very proud of the wonderful community they have created so far and can’t wait to continue their journey for the second half of 2023, which is turning out to be the biggest and best year yet.

Dance Legacy is only in its third year but has already grown to almost 200 students, and it’s growing every week.

The teachers of Dance Legacy are so proud of what the students are achieving. Already this year they have welcomed many new faces through the door and seen students skip for the first time, seen students wing for the first time, and seen students achieve personal goals they have set for themselves.

Last term students in all classes throughout the week performed in the Mid-Season Presentation, which is the first of two whole school performances throughout the year where every student gets their time to shine on the stage and perform for their friends and family.

They will now begin to work on items for the End of Season Showcase in December. Students are also preparing for their Royal Academy of Dance (RAD) ballet examinations and Australian Teachers of Dancing (ATOD) tap and jazz examinations as well as taking their company students to represent Dance Legacy at local performances and competitions.

But what Miss Loren and Miss Danielle love to see the most and are the proudest of is students

gaining or re-discovering a love and true enjoyment of dance.

Everybody that walks through the doors of Dance Legacy mention the awesome energy and vibe that the studio exudes and always walk out of class with a smile on their face.

Dance Legacy offers a wide variety of classes for ages 18 months through to adults in ballet, tap, jazz, lyrical, contemporary, hip hop, acro and stretch/conditioning.

It was the first dance school in the area to offer its super popular ‘Legacies’ classes designed for students who danced at an elite level in their teenage years and want to continue their dancing for fun and fitness, and still want a challenge without the commitment.

The adult classes are also becoming popular for anyone over the age of 18 with any or no dance experience.

The school moved into its very first home in 2022 and now owns two purpose-built studio spaces for almost 50 classes throughout each week, with plans to expand even more over the coming years.

Dance Legacy promises to provide an inclusive and safe environment to help develop the person as well as the dancer. The team pledges to nurture and further a dance legacy for every student that dances through the studio door.
