About
Our Academy
At PH Academy of Dance, our core values are at the heartbeat of everything we do.
We don't just teach dance; we place importance on the mental and physical well-being of every child.
​
We are committed to nurturing each student's unique talent, fostering an environment where every dancer feels valued and supported.
Our experienced teachers inspire students to push beyond their limiting beliefs, encouraging them to explore new levels of creativity and expression through dance.
We believe in building confidence, instilling a sense of self-assurance in our students that extends beyond the dance studio.
Our caring approach ensures that each dancer feels safe and understood, creating a community where everyone can thrive.
Empowering students to explore their passions is at the forefront of our mission.
​​
We provide opportunities for dancers to try different styles, participate in ISTD exams that challenge and develop our students, perform in exciting festivals and our bi-annual show that dazzles the audience performances, and grow both as dancers and individuals.
​
Step into our world and let your journey begin. Whether you're taking your first steps or poised for greatness, our academy is your stage, and your story awaits.

Words from the Grown Ups
“A highly engaging and supportive environment for the students. The support amongst the parents too. The students work hard and the growth of the academy over the past few years is a testament to the effort put in by Kim, Melissa and team." - Karen

"Phad is not just a dance school it's a family. My daughter has benefited hugely from the support and encouragement she has received from all the teachers, dancers and parents and the confidence she has gained will help her throughout her life. Each child is taught at there own pace and constantly reminded it's not just about your feet it's about how you feel. I love this school and I love the teachers. If your looking for a dance school that only pushes your child to dance this is not the school for you, but if your looking for a dance school that creates smiles and lifelong connections come give it a go, you will be welcomed with open arms and kind hearts" - Sarah
"My little 2 1/2 year old is loving her weekend dance class. The variety and texture provided is great fun. From dinosaur moves to circus scenarios etc, the teacher has a great way of teaching basic posture and dance moves without it feeling like a class. Which will translate well into more formal classes as they get older. I'd also add that the care shown, as my child is the youngest in the class, has been exceptional and even the children "mother" her. It's very sweet." - Hodl​
