Yue Dance Academy

Tony and Mana are such a lovely couple and truly wonderful teachers. They teach professional dance from the very basics in a clear, patient and supportive way. Every class is full of new discoveries, and I always leave feeling happy that I came. Tony and Mana create such a warm and welcoming atmosphere, and you can really feel the love and care they put into their studio. I’m genuinely grateful to have found such a beautiful ballet school here in Brisbane. It has been a truly joyful experience.

My daughter is learning ballet with the principal teacher, Tony, at Yue Dance Academy, and as parents we truly could not be happier. Tony is an exceptional teacher with many years of experience guiding students at all levels. What makes him special is not only his skill in teaching dance technique, but also the way he teaches respect, manners, and positive values. He is always calm, patient, respectful and kind — qualities that really inspire the children. We’ve seen how much our daughter has grown, not just as a dancer but also as a person. She looks forward to every class, and we feel very lucky to have found a teacher we can completely trust. For families looking for a place where children can learn both beautiful ballet technique and important life lessons in a caring environment, we highly recommend Yue Dance Academy.

Tony and Mana are truly amazing teachers. Their attention to detail and care for every single student throughout class is second to none. Starting ballet in my 40s, Tony’s teaching has made me feel real progress after every class, and I’m so grateful to have him as my ballet teacher. I also love the abundance of light and space in the YDA studio—it’s such an inspiring environment. The poise learned in class carries through into daily life, and it’s been incredibly rewarding. I would love for more adults to come and join us—these classes truly nourish the soul!

I love going to Yue Dance Academy as they have a great environment to meet like-minded, passionate dancers. The studio is well maintained and the cast of teachers are very talented. Tony inspired me to re-enter the world of dance because of his strong passion for dance. He is a very talented and knowledgeable ballet teacher. Braden brings a wonderful sense of humor and excellent interaction with his students. He attentively observes students' reactions and adjusts his pace to meet their individual needs. I am very pleased to have him as my coach for jazz and contemporary dance. Mana is a lovely Pilates coach. The exercises she brings are very well designs especially for dancers. Her depth of knowledge and patience during training make classes fun and very rewarding. I highly recommend her to anyone interested in learning Pilates. I really enjoy the classes I have attended here and I can't wait for my next lesson!

Wonderful First Ballet Experience for Harper Harper just had her very first private ballet lesson at Yue Dance Academy, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. As a young teen with no dance background but a deep love for classical music, Harper was both excited and a little anxious walking in. The director Tony made everything feel calm, welcoming, and completely at ease from the very beginning. The lesson was professional, clearly explained, and surprisingly fun. Despite being a beginner, Harper found the instructions easy to follow, and the teacher was incredibly patient—taking everything at her pace while still making the session informative and enjoyable. Harper loved it so much that we’ve now enrolled her in several more private lessons in a row. It was a fantastic introduction to ballet, and we’re thrilled to see her enthusiasm grow. Highly recommended!
