GDANCE Academy Canberra (specialising in Classical Ballet and the Performing Arts) is one of the region's premier dance schools and has been providing exceptional dance training to the Canberra community for 14 years. GDANCE offers the highest standard of dance training in a positive and friendly environment. You will find that at GDANCE the music is always clean, the costumes are age appropriate and the choreography is vibrant yet tasteful. Our examination and eisteddfod results are consistently high, with more than 80% of our students receiving a DISTINCTION for their dance examinations. Many GDANCE students have been accepted by audition into The Australian Ballet School's interstate training program. Senior students consistently find work in the industry and are accepted by audition into tertiary dance and performing arts training institutions to advance their careers. You have chosen a dance school that cares. We care about safe dance practice so that your child is happy and healthy. We care that our staff and students treat each and every person with respect. We care that your kids can be kids - that means child appropriate music, costumes and choreography. We care that your child is nourished from the inside and out. We care about your young ones having positive and strong female role models to look up to. We care that our students gain a little more artistry with each and every class. Founded and owned by dancer/choreographer Jo McKinley, the GDANCE philosophy is to provide a positive and exciting learning environment where dancers will have fun, receive exceptional technical instruction and develop their passion for this incredible art form. GDANCE will encourage you to take the discipline of dance into your everyday life, helping to build self-confidence, good self-esteem and a strong desire to succeed.

Welcome to all our new followers! 👋

We're GDANCE Academy, a dance studio in Mitchell, Canberra, and we've been teaching for over 25 years.

Here's what makes us a little different: we don't rank our dancers against each other. Our students learn to measure themselves against their own best. They learn to notice their progress, set their next goal, and keep growing.

That means:
🩰 Real technique, including RAD ballet exams
🌱 A growth mindset that lasts beyond the studio
💛 A kind, calm culture with no dance mum drama

Right now we're deep in rehearsals for our end-of-year concert, The Station, at The Q on 5 & 6 December. Follow along for a peek behind the scenes!

Thinking about dance for 2027? Send us a message to book a trial class.

We're so glad you're here.
