Our vision is not just to produce exceptional dancers but to empower resilient, creative, and empathetic individuals who carry the enriching and transformative experiences of dance into all aspects of their lives. Peninsula School of Dance is the peninsula’s leading dance academy - we’ve been operating for over 60 years, so we know a thing or two about providing hig

h-quality tuition in a FUN environment. Our community spirit is strong and our students thrive in our supportive environment, developing confidence, resilience and life long friendships. A Rich History…

The School has serviced the Mornington Peninsula for over 60 years and produced some of Australia’s finest dancers, teachers and choreographers. Established in 1961, as the Rosebud Ballet School by Miss Sandra Allan and now under the Directorship of Miss Melanie Gard, Peninsula School of Dance is highly regarded for it's high standards of training and nurturing, positive environment for young people. The faculty at Peninsula School of Dance believes that nothing is more joyful than watching a young child explore the world of music and movement with pure delight and carefree abandon. When this is nurtured in a loving environment by highly qualified staff, students will go on to derive many benefits from learning the art of dance. For 40 years, across two generations and six students PSD has been our family’s dance school of choice” – A.

💙 Uniform and Presentation Matters 💙

A well-groomed dancer is a focused dancer. Keeping hair neatly secured and wearing the correct uniform helps eliminate distractions, allowing you to concentrate on your technique.

Ballet students, don’t forget your bun—it’s not just tradition, it’s practical.
Uniforms are available at the studio, making it easy to stay class-ready.
