Ravenhall, on the Western Highway

Six rooms.
One roof.

A dance school is usually one hired hall and a cold corridor. We built something else: a place where a family can spend a Tuesday evening and every single one of them has somewhere to be.

01

Four dance studios

Four dedicated rooms, so classes run properly rather than in shifts around one hall.

02

A parents cafe

Somewhere to actually sit for 45 minutes. With coffee. This is not a small thing.

03

A waiting lounge

Room for the sibling, the pram and the school bag while one child is in class.

04

A homework room

So a Tuesday-night class does not cost a student their homework. They walk out with both done.

05

A music room

Purpose-built for private singing, in the same building as everything else.

06

The DFX Dance Shop

Shoes, dancewear, uniform and merch on site — fitted by people who watch your child dance every week.

The bit parents actually care about

The homework
room

A Tuesday-night class should not cost a student their homework. So there is a room for it, with desks, and it is used constantly — by the sibling waiting, by the dancer with a spare 45 minutes between classes, and by the Year 11 student who has three subjects and a competition solo.

They walk out with both done. That is the entire idea.

“Nurturing not only outstanding dancers, but also beautiful humans.”
