Newcastle Dance Academy is proudly owned and operated by Tracy Caldwell-Ostermann and Roxanne McCourtie-Tagaroulias. Our journey began in 1996 with a small studio and a big dream. Starting with just 10 weeks left in the year, we rented church halls and moved across various locations before settling at our Hobart Road premises in 1999. After the devastating 2007 floods, we knew it was time for a fresh start. In 2009, we opened the doors to our purpose-built, six-studio complex in Broadmeadow, now home to over 200 students.
We are committed to offering exceptional dance education and honest, professional advice to families. Our warm and welcoming environment is supported by a team of dedicated and fully qualified Royal Academy of Dance (RAD) teachers. Through ongoing professional development, we stay at the forefront of teaching excellence. As a child-safe organisation, all staff hold current Working with Children Checks.
Born and bred in Newcastle, we’re passionate about sharing our knowledge, nurturing talent, and providing a safe, inspiring space where students and families feel valued. Our beautiful facilities are designed to help every child thrive.
