TOWNSVILLE ACADEMY OF PERFORMING ARTS REVIEWS

My daughter has been attending since she was 3 and is now 4 - I can’t tell you how much she has thrived in the care of the teachers at this facility! She has grown socially and her confidence has increased so much. We love our days at TAPA in Ready Set Dance & Ready Set Acro! Admin are also very responsive and happy to help however they can x.

My two year old has just started ready set dance at Tapa and she is absolutely loving her time at Tapa. The dance teachers are so lovely and welcoming and have really helped my daughter settle in. I highly recommend Tapa.

DANCENSATIONS REVIEWS

Cannot recommend Melissa highly enough. My husband and I had 3 lessons for our wedding dance and we both had no dance backgrounds so this was all new for us. Mel made us both feel comfortable and taught us a beautiful routine that she choreographed herself. Mel is so well welcoming and supportive. Our wedding guests loved our first dance and it was the talk of the night. Everyone mentioned how romantic and special our first dance was. Highly recommend! Thanks again!.

Melissa is worth her weight in gold. We had very little dance experience and were nervous to perform our first dance at our wedding - lessons provided us with the tools to succeed. Melissa listened to our piece of music and crafted a routine that was easy to understand, practice in our own time and allowed us to appear to know what we were doing. Thanks to Melissa for teaching us and for her ongoing patience, expertise and support.

Melissa is such a genuine sole! She helped us with our first dance & we enjoyed every lesson we had. Full of laughs, banter & doggo pats. Everyone of our guests enjoyed our dance! Can’t thank her enough! .

GLOBAL DANCE COLLECTIVE REVIEWS

I have had a positive experience learning beginner Salsa from Cara and beginner Rueda de Casino with Rod. I also enjoyed learning beginner Bachata from Amelia at one of the Thursday social dancing events. Global Dance Collective provides a safe fun environment to learn Latin dance.

I have been learning salsa and belly dancing for the past 12 months. Cara and Rod are amazing teachers that make classes fun , inclusive and engaging. There is also a great community built around the school. I recommend Global Dance Collective as 5 star.

The Global Dance Collective is a safe and warm space for all people to learn, have fun and have a giggle. I would recommend trying these classes.
