Dance On Academy offers quality training to anyone with a passion for dance.
Principals Taryn Jacobs and Emma Zinner love creating a friendly, fun, and encouraging atmosphere while also delivering quality training and experiences to help each dancer through their journey – whether that be for fun, personal growth, or towards becoming a professional dancer.
“We pride ourselves in having fun, caring, and approachable teachers who have an immense passion in both dance and teaching dance,” Emma and Taryn said.
The studio offers ballet, jazz, tap, contemporary/lyrical, hip hop and acrobatics.
For students who want to further their dancing, Dance On offers ATOD Ballet exams as well as competition work in solos, duos, trios, and troupes.
For its youngest dancers, the studio offers tiny tots, 2/3-year-old and 3/4-year-old dance as well as ballet and combined jazz/tap for 4/5-year-olds.
“We know that one size doesn’t fit all so make sure that we tailor each students’ dance experience to their goals,” Emma and Taryn said.
Dance On is in its second year of business.
Emma and Taryn have been teaching together for more than a decade, building knowledge on how to best run a dance school as well as continually working to improve their teaching methods and choreography.
Dance On has three pillars:
Dance to smile – The goal is to see dancers and their families light up with excitement, enthusiasm, and engagement.
“We have seen first-hand the positive impact dance can have on students and the pure joy this can bring to them at any level of both class and performance,” Emma and Taryn said.
“We smile when we see you smile!”
Dance to inspire – Emma and Taryn have created an academy where dancers can be inspired and inspire others to be themselves, show emotion in dance, reward effort, be inclusive, and always show team spirit.
“Through inspiration, anyone can grow as a dancer,” they said.
Dance to achieve – Achievements come in all forms.
“We love to see and hear about achievements no matter how big or small; from being brave and taking that first step into a new class, through to accomplishing a new skill or being proud of a stage performance,” Emma and Taryn said.
Dance On’s Performance Team is working hard on solos and duos in preparation for the Moe Eisteddfod in April as well as troupes for many performance opportunities throughout the year.
“We are also excited to be able to give our students the opportunity to perform at Disneyland and other exciting locations around the USA in 2025, which has created a really positive vibe around the studio,” Emma and Taryn said.
“We would love to welcome many more new faces and would be more than happy to chat about our FREE trial classes and help find the right pathway for you.”
Dance On Academy is at Factory 3, 108 Mulcahy Road, Pakenham.
