Our Difference

At Sydney Performing Arts Academy, we believe every child deserves a platform to be seen, celebrated, and to shine in their own unique way. Our mission is to create a nurturing and inclusive environment where young dancers can express themselves and build confidence, both on and off the stage.

We are proud to offer multiple local performances and special events throughout the year for all our students, giving them numerous opportunities to share their talents and hard work with their loved ones and the community. In addition, we hold a professionally staged production that brings the magic of the performing arts to life, as well as the exciting chance for students to take part in a Mini Movie experience—creating memories that will last a lifetime.

Our Academy places a strong emphasis on keeping childhood sacred. From carefully chosen music to thoughtfully designed costumes and age-appropriate choreography, we ensure that all aspects of our classes and performances reflect our commitment to letting kids be kids.

At the heart of our Academy is a true dance family—a community-based and family-focused culture where students and their families feel supported, connected, and valued. We are more than just a dance school; we are a home where lifelong friendships are made, and a love for dance and the arts is nurtured.

Testimonials

My two daughters have been attending Sydney Performing Arts Academy for the past 3 years. Over that time they have taken part in several different classes and have developed skills in dance, acro and singing/acting. They have also grown alot in their self confidence! The teachers at SPAA are friendly and have a passion for teaching kids. My girls have been lucky enough to have had classes with Miss Bec (our amazing Principal), Miss Sorelle and Miss Chelsea and they love them all! We are so lucky to have such a fun, supportive and encouraging dance community here in Elara 🩰💖

Our daughter has been a part of Sydney Performing Arts Academy for the last 3 years. Since then she has flourished and gained so much confidence within herself. We couldn’t be more happier finding a dance school that is locally owned and run. If you are looking for a dance school conveniently located within the Marsden Park community, that participates in so many wonderful local events, Sydney Performing Arts Academy is where it’s at. It has been a joy to see our girl progress and evolve with her dancing. Being a part of the Academy has not only allowed her to meet many great friends, but has also established many amazing friendships amongst the parents. Thank you to Bec for creating a safe, fun and joyous environment for kids to thrive and tap into their creativity and talents.
