At Newcastle Dance Academy, our mission is to create a nurturing, inspiring environment where students grow not only as dancers, but as people.
Through quality dance education, guidance and care, we strive to instil confidence, discipline, creativity and resilience. Our students leave us with a lifelong love of dance, a strong sense of self, and the belief that anything is possible.
We believe dance is more than steps and technique – it is a powerful tool for personal growth, self-expression and connection. Every student’s journey is valued, and every child is encouraged to reach their full potential in a supportive and uplifting community.
Newcastle Dance Academy is a vibrant and respectful community of dancers, families, teachers and staff who share a deep appreciation for the art of dance and the responsibility that comes with it.
All members of our community are asked to uphold the values below, which guide how we train, teach, perform and interact—both within our studios and across the wider dance community.
We conduct ourselves with honesty, courtesy and respect at all times.
We honour our commitments, lead by example, and treat fellow dancers, families, educators, staff and competitors with consideration and fairness. We strive to be people others can rely on.
We believe leadership begins with example.
Through our actions, words and work ethic, we inspire those around us to achieve their highest goals. We encourage students to actively contribute to their classes, teams and community, learning to lead with confidence, kindness and purpose.
We respect and follow studio policies, procedures and expectations, as well as those of workshops, competitions and events we attend.
We communicate openly and respectfully, take ownership of our actions, and are willing to receive guidance and coaching in order to grow.
We value strong character, maturity and integrity.
Our community is built on trust, accountability and respect. We encourage students to face challenges with courage and dignity, to avoid gossip or negativity, and to uplift others within the dance community.
We uphold the standards of the dance profession and recognise the responsibility of being role models – both inside and outside the studio.
We support one another, encourage growth, and speak with respect as we work together to elevate the dance community as a whole.
At the heart of everything we do is a deep love for dance.
We celebrate its beauty, grace, discipline and excitement, and the powerful way it brings stories and emotions to life. Dance inspires pride, joy and connection – not only for our students, but for everyone who shares in their journey.
