Welcome to Dare To Dance Canberra, located at 70 Dundas Court, Phillip. As the winner of the Australian Women's Small Business Champion Award in 2022, we are proud to be a trusted dance school in Canberra since our opening on May 12th, 2008.

At Dare To Dance, we offer dance lessons for children of all ages, including toddlers, pre-teens, teenagers, and adults, including those with special needs. Our school was founded on the principles of community spirit and strength of character, and we strive to provide a safe, supportive, and enjoyable environment for all of our students. We believe in giving every student equal opportunities to grow and excel.

Whether you dance for fun or aspire to compete, Dare To Dance caters to all kinds of aspiring dancers. We pride ourselves on treating every student as an individual, valuing their unique talents and abilities. When you join Dare To Dance, you become part of our family.

In addition to our exceptional dance classes, we are one of the few dance schools in Canberra that also offers a retail dancewear range. We have a limited stock of dance accessories and products available for purchase, so you don't have to worry about searching for the appropriate attire elsewhere. Our range includes crop tops, shorts, t-shirts, and biketards, suitable for various dance styles such as jazz, tap, acro, hip hop, musical theatre, and contemporary.

For ballet attire, we can arrange special orders through Canberra Dancewear by Dee, with a turnaround time of 6-8 weeks. We also offer drink bottles, key rings, and pens, all available for purchase at the studio.

Your first lesson at Dare To Dance is considered a trial, and it's absolutely free! This gives both the student and parent the opportunity to experience the class and see if it's the right fit. We ensure that all students are placed in age-appropriate classes, so beginners need not worry about being placed in the wrong group.

In recognition of our dedication and excellence, Dare To Dance and our owner and director, Alison Bailey, have been finalists and winners of various business and performing arts awards. Alison was a finalist for the Local Business Awards in 2021, and Dare To Dance Canberra won the Outstanding Performing Arts category. In 2014, Alison was also a finalist for the Telstra Business Woman Awards in two categories, Young Business Woman and Young Entrepreneur.

Most recently, in November 2022, Dare To Dance Canberra was a finalist for the Australian Women's Small Business Champion Awards for Outstanding Performing Arts. We were honored to be chosen as the winner among 29 shortlisted dance studios across Australia. This achievement reflects Alison's exceptional leadership qualities and the values of team spirit, creativity, hard work, and commitment that we uphold at Dare To Dance.
