About United Dance
With studio in Thornton, United Dance is one of the best and most family friendly dance schools in the Hunter Valley / Port Stephens districts.
United Dance is solely built on the foundation of putting you and your child first and at the heart of your dance experience!
Our faculty of teachers are passionate, positive and persistent to nurture and engage your child’s enjoyment, resilience, self expression and self belief.
We have a variety of styles on offer, including combo classes for our most popular ages and genres.
Our recreational programs are our most popular and are a great way to be introduced to the art form. For students who like a challenge and want to experience the competitive world of dance, we also have supportive, affordable, and inspiring competition programs for students aged 6 years and older.
We aim to make things as easy as possible for parents by being organised and having open communication, while guiding you through the dance parent journey. Not only is dance education at the heart of our studio, we are deeply passionate about giving your child the tools, morals and support to live a happy and healthy life.

OUR VISION
Our vision is to create a world where everyone can access the magic of dance.
We have witnessed first hand how dance can build character, confidence and friendships.
This beautiful, enriching sport is an incredible tool to teach body awareness, self-discipline and teamwork.
Through our service of teaching dance, we strive to provide exceptional coaching and leadership to our students.
While striving to instill the importance of etiquette and manners, we also focus on good self-esteem and positive body image.
OUR MISSION
We are passionate about providing a holistic approach to dance education through positively nurturing your child throughout their dance life! We bring the best out in your child as their confidence blossoms and they feel valued, supported, loved and a part of a second family.
The growth and progression of your child’s physical, emotional and social development will shine through as they conquer new achievements!
