Reviews
My daughter has been dancing at the Queensland World Dance Academy for a few years now, and we've had nothing but great experiences. The teaching is exceptional, and my daughter always does really well in RAD exams and competitions. Also, Ms. Susan is an amazing and supportive teacher! We’re very grateful to be part of this wonderful school and community. Definitely recommend if you're looking for high-quality and professional dance training!
Wonderful dance teachers. Very friendly and approachable beginners adult ballet class! Thank you!
I have been dancing with Queensland World Dance Academy for more than 10 years. I enjoy the different styles of dance available for students both young and old. The teachers of QWDA are of professional level and care greatly for the development of all the students they teach.
I really enjoy dancing here with the professional teacher and dance environment. My favourite teacher Tony is fantastic with my dancing journey. I’ve been here for 5 years and would definitely recommend for both children and adults.
Going to QWDA for years and have enjoyed every bit of it. A wide variety of dance styles to choose from, with professionally qualified teachers.
