Victorian Dance Academy School of Performing Arts

VDA has been a part of my daughter's life for the past 5 years and she has gone from strength to strength since starting there. She has been dancing since she was 3 years old but has really flourished since being at VDA. The principle, Kerrie Fraser and all the teachers have been so supportive and encouraged her in so many ways l can't thank them enough. It has been a very challenging year this year but VDA has managed to keep the kids engaged with zoom classes. I would recommend VDA to any kids that love dancing. Thanks Stefanie (Catia's mum)

I’m not that kind of person that likes to leave feedback and this is actually my first time writing feedback. I know no school can be 100% perfect the way you wanted for your kids. But as long as teachers are dedicated and professional, staff are friendly and kids are happy then it’s a good school. We have been with VDA for three years now and my two girls love dancing with them, no matter in the studio or on Zoom classes. From the principle to the teachers, are all very professional and supportive. Every school has their own ways of running their business, as a teacher myself I do respect the ways how VDA is run and happy to stay. Well done to all VDA teachers and staff for the hard work in 2020 and looking forward to our Covid-normal 2021!

Kerrie and Marilyn are VDA culture and they make the girls feel so welcome every morning the arrive. We have had the pleasure of knowing the team at VDA for most of our children's lives.We continue to go and look forward to enjoying road trips with the team.We have lived through hard times during Melbourne's lockdown, but came back stronger together.Let's keep dancing they say. And always enjoying ourselves

Strongly caution parents about sending their kids here. We had a very bad experience that almost destroyed my daughter’s love for dancing, as well as her confidence. Put me off the whole dance thing as well. In summary - which I still find quite disturbing - my 8 yo daughter was asked not to return because the owner believed i had written a bad review on their previous site. I didn’t. I use my name in reviews. It was another parent who was experiencing similar issues. Instead of first checking, I was told that because of my bad review (which I didn’t write) they did not want my daughter back. I was shocked.Turns out best thing ever to happen as we found an amazing studio in Nunawading that is heads above VDA. My daughter has gone from strength to strength and is very much back in love with dance.I would never assume to tell a parent what to do, however in this case would recommend you look around, do some trials at different places to see what fits.... also noted most of the 7 reviews on the site now, are from employees and owners. I recognize the names.

I just had to write to express my gratitude to the staff at VDA for their hard work, positivity and creativity during COVID restrictions. As a result of their efforts, my daughters have been able to continue to dance this year with the very high standard of care and guidance they've always enjoyed. Returning to the studio this month was so very enjoyable for them and I've appreciated how enthusiastic the staff have been in welcoming them back. Thanks VDA. We love being part of the VDA family.
