Vision for Prestige Dance Academy is to create a nurturing and supportive environment where students can thrive and reach their full potential. With a team of highly skilled and dedicated teachers, Prestige Dance Academy provides top-quality training in a range of dance styles.
Prestige Dance Academy offers classes in Ballet, Jazz, Tap Dance, and Musical Theatre, catering to students of all ages and skill levels. The academy follows the Royal Academy of Dance (RAD) syllabus and prepares students for annual RAD Ballet examinations. Through this structured training, students develop technical excellence, artistry, and a deep love for dance.
What sets Prestige Dance Academy apart is its commitment to individual student growth. Every child is given the opportunity to shine, and the academy fosters their creativity, musical appreciation, and love of dance. The dedicated teachers work closely with students to identify their strengths and provide tailored guidance to help them achieve their goals.
Prestige Dance Academy also offers pathways for aspiring dancers to pursue their dreams. Elite level dancers have the opportunity to contribute their training and assessment into Marden Senior College Stage 2 Workplace Practises as a Year 12 subject. This integration of dance training and academic studies allows students to pursue a career in dance while completing their education.
Many graduates of Prestige Dance Academy have gone on to pursue further dance education at prestigious institutions such as The Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts, Ministry of Dance, and the Australian Ballet Associate Programme. The academy provides ongoing support and high-quality training to help students successfully achieve their goals in the dance industry.
The principal of Prestige Dance Academy, Melanie Panton, has been instrumental in the academy's success. With years of experience and a passion for teaching, Melanie has built a reputable institution since its humble beginnings in 1994. As an Internationally Qualified RAD Teacher, she continues to enhance her knowledge and stay updated with the evolving dance syllabuses. Melanie's dedication to her students and commitment to their artistic development ensure that every student at Prestige Dance Academy is encouraged to strive for their personal best.
With its strong emphasis on technical training, artistic expression, and personal growth, Prestige Dance Academy is South Australia's leading dance school. Whether students aspire to pursue a professional career in dance or simply want to enjoy the benefits of dance education, Prestige Dance Academy offers a supportive and enriching environment for all.
