Susan Shiner Dance Academy
Our academy offers professional lessons in a range of dance styles including Classical, Tap, Jazz, Contemporary and Cheerleading. All teaching staff are experienced and highly qualified dancers. We provide lessons for all stages from beginner to advanced and to suit dancers looking for a fun way to exercise, as well as those hoping to make it to the big stage. A boys-only class, with a male teacher, offers street style dance including breakdance and is a great way to burn energy and let off some steam. We also offer acrobatic dance lessons which combine classical ballet with acrobatic moves and are a great way to build strength.

My son and daughter have been dancing at SSDA for quite a few years, they absolutely love going there. The studio is a wonderful space and is very family oriented. The staff are welcoming, they are motivating, encouraging and supportive to all the kids who attend the studio. SSDA has such a positive vibe every time you walk into the studio, it’s their dancing home!
We are so glad that we made the switch to SSDA 5 years ago! Absolutely the best decision we made for our girls! The staff are lovely, and all show such passion for dance and teaching. My daughters aged 5, 7 and 12, have learned so much and the support from the staff has increased their love for dancing. Catering for so many styles of dance and also having baby classes through to adults means not only do my daughters love to be there but so do I. SSDA are not only an affordable dance school but also are of high-quality teaching. We are so happy to be part of the SSDA Family! I would highly recommend SSDA to any young dancer or young at heart if you are looking for a supporting, talented and family friendly dance school that won’t break the budget but still providing that magical concert and instilling passion, drive and dance knowledge and skills into your dancers life!
I joined SSDA about 3 years ago, as part of the Adult Tap & Silver Swans Programs. In that time, I have found the teachers to be extremely supportive, dedicated and professional. The friendly staff have a passion for dance and cater for students of all ages. I would highly recommend this studio.
