Terry Simpson Studios - Junior School

Terry Simpson Studios is one of South Australia's leading dance schools, and its Junior School in Mitcham is where many young Adelaide dancers build their foundations. Known as a leading classical ballet school, the studio combines serious technical training with a nurturing, student-focused philosophy that has shaped generations of dancers.

The school offers a broad curriculum spanning classical ballet through the RAD graded and vocational syllabi, contemporary, jazz, tap and hip-hop, alongside a structured children's programme from age three. Dedicated boys' classes, pointe, character work and a body management programme round out an offering designed to develop well-rounded, technically strong dancers.

Led by principal Terry Simpson, an experienced RAD examiner, mentor and tutor, the studio is driven by a genuine commitment to its students' growth and achievement. Whether a child is taking their very first recreational class or working toward vocational and SACE dance pathways, the Mitcham Junior School provides a supportive, disciplined environment where young dancers can flourish.
