Melbourne Dance Company

Melbourne Dance Company is a warm, family-focused dance school in Thomastown where children grow in confidence as much as in technique. Run by mums who genuinely understand and care about the kids they teach, the studio has built a reputation as a welcoming second home for both brand-new dancers and those who have been performing for years.

The school covers a range of dance styles and structures classes by age and stage, so little ones starting out and more experienced students each find the right level. Across the year, students work towards two big performances, with the routines, costumes and concerts giving every dancer something exciting to aim for and a real sense of achievement on stage.

What parents return for, season after season, is the community. The large, open studio offers plenty of viewing space so families can watch their children thrive, and the teachers and parents alike are described as kind, friendly and supportive. For many Thomastown families it has become a place they would not swap, with children who look forward to class each week and friendships that last well beyond the dance floor.
