Welcome to
Sayers Dance Centre
​
​
Sayers Dance Centre is a nurturing school that believes you need to love something before you can do it well. They work to foster a love of dance whilst developing strong dance techniques. Many past students from "Sayers" have gone on to dance in companies around the world and into associated fields, but all have taken away with them a strong love of the arts, and lifelong friendships. Our Studios all have special sprung floors to protect developing bodies, as well as barres, mirrors and air-conditioning. We even have a two way mirror so you can watch your child learn without them knowing you are there. We are located at Kenmore Village Shopping Centre which is just short drive west of Brisbane City.
The experienced and caring staff are members of the Royal Academy of Dance or other associations.
Our teaching staff are of the highest caliber, with many of them having enjoyed a professional dance career. All our teachers have teaching qualifications and attend regular professional development throughout the year. Our school is a member of the Royal Academy of Dance and our classical classes use their syllabus.
Our staff are there to assist your child develop into the best dancer that they can become.​

"Without the Sayers Dance Centre I wouldn't be where I am today. My time spent at Sayers Dance Centre has shaped the person I am today, the fantastic level of professionalism, love and caring is why I am living my dream as a professional dancer in one of Europe's best companies. Vivianne and Nadine Sayers have not only given me all that I need to be a professional dancer but also the life skills needed to be a best person I can be. Their unlimited love, caring attitudes and hard work has made them not only my mentors but more importantly my lifelong friends"
