Love from our Dance Community
Our community means everything to us. We’re grateful for the little dancers and big-hearted families who bring so much joy to our studio. Hear what they’re saying about their Gumnut experience.
I love this dance school because they let the kids be kids. No crazy makeup and costumes here- the kids are having fun and learning that dancing is joyful! Justine and her team are great at what they do. The new venue is fabulous.
Our daughter is about to start her third term at Gumnuts; we love it there. The school’s philosophy of not subscribing to the high pressure, over the top, tutus make up and uniform hairstyles was exactly what we were looking for. Dancing for fun. Sure they’re learning new skills and moves, but it is first and foremost fun
Is it possible to give more stars? This dance studio has been the best experience for my daughter as it promotes body positivity and a joyful dance experience. The staff are warm and friendly and looked after my (initially nervous) girl from her very first class. The Director went out of her way to be welcoming and supportive, and we have been so pleased to see how our daughter has grown in confidence since starting these classes. Thank you Justine and team – you are extraordinary and I have nothing but praise for your beautiful studio.
Terrific teachers. Great facilities and the birthday parties are wonderful
Staff are great. Great for kids of all ages. Very welcoming.
My 5yr old daughter looks forward to Gumnuts Dance every week 🙂 Easy drop off & pick up! Savvy priced not much equipment needed!
Such an amazing dance school. No makeup or big concerts, just a lot of fun for the kids. The teachers are amazing.
Edited to add: have also had a birthday party here and it was FANTASTIC! All the kids had such a great time.
My daughter has been coming to Gumnut since the beginning, about 8 years now. Justine and all the teachers are great.
The best dance company any person can send their child to, I recommend to anyone
This is an outstanding small dance school! The teachers and owner know you by name, and are so positive. Classes are an age appropriate amount of repetition, variety and skill building. My son was never forced to do anything, or punished for doing his own thing – it was very supportive and go at your own pace. Sprung floors, clean facilities and an easy walk from the tram stop (two coffee shops on the way). We did two terms at Gumnut Dance – toddler age (Spinning Gumnut class). I would reccommend it very highly!
