Dance & Balance
Enriching young dancers' lives through movement.
The Full Story
of D&B
Here at Dance & Balance, movement is more than just physical activity - it's a chance for your little ones to use their creative minds, grow as a human and find the right environment. Our studio was founded in the belief that every child has potential to obtain any of their goals!
Our Origins
The story of Dance & Balance is rooted in a deep love for movement and self expression. I've always been full of life and energy, which is why my parents put me in ballet class early on - to channel that energy into movement. From those first dance steps, my love for dance grew. After a few years of ballet I discovered gymnastics which I was even more passionate about. I worked hard and eventually managed to get into a competitive group - which I'm still actively a part of. Along the way I explored jazz dance, further expanding my creativity and connection with movement.
As I grew, I realised that even though I love being the one training and learning new things - what i love even more is being able to pass on my knowledge to others. I found purpose working with children, from teaching younger kids at after-school programs, being a coach at a mini-gym and taking care of them as a babysitter. Seeing their excitement and confidence grow through movement truly inspired me to create something of my own - a safe space where kids can feel empowered, celebrated, free to explore their full potential and maybe find some new friends - all while learning English!
Our Mission
Our main goal is to make your child feel comfortable and expressive, whether it's through gymnastics, dance or yoga 🧘🏼♀️

Although we focus most on body movement the children will also expand their English skills through our classes 🩰🫧
What sets us apart
Our studio is underwater inspired which is why a lot of our activities and games will be sticking to that theme. It's also the reason why our groups are named after bubbles, starfish and tsunamis.
Inclusivity ♥️: We welcome children from all backgrounds and skill levels, even those completely new to movement or English
Progress Tracking 🐾: Kids earn stickers on their stamp cards and rewards as they complete milestones
Showcase Events 👯♀️: We will occasionally have performances where the kids can show you what they've been up to!
Vision
We have classes for kids between the ages of 4-13 so come and join us now as every class only has spots for 10 children!
We're here to guide them on an exciting journey through movement, growth and self-discovery. 💙
