WE DO THINGS DIFFERENTLY HERE!
For us at Dance Energy, it’s all about the journey and not the outcome. We focus on a balance of recreational and competition streams to support all dancers and ensure their unique needs are met. Our team of dedicated and long-standing teachers are passionate about education and supported by a full-time administration team to ensure the best experience is delivered in every class.
We are a dance studio dedicated to helping busy parents find a healthy, creative and fun after school activity through movement, music and friends. At Dance Energy, we know that dance education is not all about the steps and technique. We create a culture of kindness and support for our students to grow and find their own passion and purpose in life. Our teachers are highly trained, passionate and knowledgeable with qualifications and top-level curriculum to back up their experience.
While we know that dance classes and programs play a huge role in what we do, it isn’t the only focus. From our Power Up mentor program that trains young teachers through to community outreach initiatives, we continue to break down barriers and educate young children on how to unleash their unique energy and potential into the world.

ELLA
MAROOCHYDORE RECIPIENT
I began my dance journey in Sydney in 2010 at Bradford Dance Academy, later moving to The Dance House Manly in 2014. After relocating to Queensland in late 2018, I joined Dance Energy Studios in 2019. The change of space helped me set clear goals for my future in dance, and I’m so grateful to the teachers who’ve guided me to where I am today.
Over the years, I’ve formed strong connections with my teachers and dance friends, making the studio feel like home. In 2023, I was honoured to receive the Performer of the Year award at the Sweet Dreams concert, and in 2024, I was named Student of the Year at our Love Stories concert. Both awards have deeply inspired me to keep striving in what I love most.A huge thank you to Miss Claire, Miss Sophie and Miss Jacqui for always supporting me. I’m excited to see what the future holds, both in and out of the studio!

MISCHA
CALOUNDRA RECIPIENT
I have been a student at Dance Energy since 2014 and have been passionate about dance ever since. Throughout my journey, I’ve been lucky to learn from incredible teachers who have continuously supported and encouraged me.
Over the years, I’ve explored a variety of styles, with jazz and hip hop being my favourites. I joined the Performance Team in 2018 and have had the opportunity to compete in many competitions, where I’ve formed lifelong friendships and loved the whole experience.
Some highlights of my time at Dance Energy include being named Preschooler of the Year in 2015, Performer of the Year in 2020, and most recently, being honoured as the 2024 Student of the Year. I’ve always looked up to the dancers who received these awards before me, so it was incredibly special to be recognised for something I truly love.
I’m so excited for the future and look forward to many more years doing what I love with my Dance Energy family.
