Dance students learn so
much more than how to dance.
Strength, flexibility, fitness, rhythm,
musicality, mime, expression, strength of mind.
They become elegant, healthy, mannered and confident for life.

The Australian Dance Academy was created in 1974 To provide the local children of Alice Springs the opportunity to learn ballet, perform on stage and develop other styles of dance.
The Australian Dance Academy is proud of their annual productions of 'The Magic of Dance', 'Morning Melodies' and 'Jazz Collectives'.
These productions are staged with children in mind.

Lynne Hanton OAM founded the Company in 1984, Alice Springs, inspired by Royal Ballet Company Principal Dancer, Ann Jenner.
