Our Facilities
We built our studios from scratch in 2015 and offer state-of-the-art floors and facilities to ensure our dancers not only have an amazing space in which to learn, but that they are also safe at all times. Our facilities include:
3 purpose-built dance studios with wall length mirrors and fitted Barres.
All floors are sprung, 2 with Tarkett flooring and 1 timber floor studio (where all tap classes are held).
All 3 studios are equipped with commercial sound systems for the best quality music.
3 x 15 metre Stretch/Conditioning mats.

Meals and full kitchen area with microwave and refrigerator.

Students love coming to Dance Lab as it is a place where they can “hang out” with their dance friends, have meals or study between classes.
Our receptionists ensure not only a warm welcome but can provide the information and answers you may need.
