Australian Dance & Drama Co.

We just love ADDCo!! Such a family friendly dance studio & the staff are just so nice.Ever since starting there my daughter’s confidence has doubled and she is making some beautiful friendships.We highly recommend Australian Dance & Drama Co.

They are amazing! They welcome our family with open arms. My granddaughter has been here for two terms, she loves it! She won’t look back in going any where else. They treat her like family and that’s what she loves the most. We’re always welcomed as parents and nan with open arms and smiles.

I do not recommend at all. So disappointing when you are talked about behind your back and nasty things said about your 10 year old child by the owner herself.This is a business for children and should be a safe space. It is not a safe space.My daughter gave her all and was then bullied and forced out by “favourite” children.This kind of business is meant to be for children to have fun. Unfortunately this is not the case here.The owner will also take your money and not refund it even if you leave. She over charges for everything and lies her way through it.I truly hope no other children have to go through what my daughter did at this studio.

I try not to leave bad reviews, but I feel that in the case of Australian Dance and Drama Co. I can no longer refrain.After reading the responses to negative reviews on this forum, I feel that I need to voice my concerns.I feel that it is absolutely disgusting that the business has posted someone's personal email to respond to their comment.This email has very personal information on it and, as such, should never have been posted on such a PUBLIC forum.The negative posts on here are justified. This is a business that is quite happy to take your money but then is VERY slow at delivering the goods.My daughter attended ADDCo for 5 years, and in that time, the atmosphere became quite toxic. With many staff leaving, this was quite upsetting for my daughter.This is a studio that portrays them selves as a positive environment, but in truth, it is anything but.Positive feedback left on here is by staff, the actual owner, and parents who are now working at the studio whose children thrust into the spotlight while others are pushed away.I urge the readers of these reviews to see the common thread here and take this into consideration when making your choice of where you want to send your child.To the responder of this review. I would like to say that I would appreciate you not mentioning my child's name in your response as she is a minor.

We have had such an amazing experience with ADDCo. My daughter loves being challenged and ADDCo provides an environment that helps them grow as dancers, in a supportive environment ❤️ We so look forward to the concert at the end of year! Thanks ADDCo

We absolutely adore ADDCo and are so glad that we found a studio with such a beautiful culture. It really does cater to all, I have one child who wants to compete and learn technique and really push herself to learn more and more... and another who just loves to dance, and is in it just for fun! This studio caters for both! and they're both equally adored by their teachers. They have an absolute no bullying policy that is enforced for not only children, but their parents too! It is so much more than a dance school, it's a community that fosters confidence, individuality, joy and perseverance. We got really lucky finding ADDCo!

My grandkids attend ADDCo and absolutely love going there. Their confidence has grown exponentially both in their stage performance and in general. They have formed bonds with other students and when I get to observe the kids between dance classes they genuinely enjoy each others company. I am also enjoying meeting other parents, grandparents and carers I feel like it’s one big family. Keep up the good work ADDCo!

ADDCO has become such a valued part of my family’s life, more than just a dance studio, my girls are constantly learning new tricks, new skills. Their teachers are vibrant and inspiring. The front desk is welcoming and make you feel like you’re family. And there is just so much support throughout all the families there. We love ADDCO !

My two daughters have truly found a home at ADDCO. We have been part of this community for 3 years now and I have seen my girls grow in skill and confidence beyond what I could have expected.Aside from the highly skilled teachers, ADDCO really has created a wonderful and safe space where all are welcome and all have their moments to shine.There are so many opportunities for the students here, and after seeing my girls engage with the senior students I can really see how the culture and experiences here allow students to really form into amazing young adults.I am also sad to see a couple of negative reviews and can truly say that after working in the arts most of my life this has been easily the best environment for dance and drama I have ever seen. There is no bullying tolerated, and I dare say that anyone who brings a bad and negative culture into this community do not last under the schools strict respect policies. I believe this to likely be a motive for some negative reviews which is disappointing for a business that impacts their students in such a positive way, wins consecutive local business awards and competition awards and has a dedicated team focused purely on building confidence in young people. Would highly recommend and encourage any parent.
