An amazing and inclusive dancing school, with a wonderful director and fantastic teachers. Class sizes at TWA are small, so every child gets attention, and the teachers and Miss Tammy truly take interest in the learning of their students. I always highly recommend TWA to any parent who is thinking of starting their child's dancing journey.

My eldest daughter started FATD Tap and Jazz with TWA in the year 2000 at 4 years of age. Jodie developed her skills and continued with RAD Ballet, Hip Hop and Showgroup until the age of 18, participating successfully in RAD and FATD Exams, Eisteddfods, many variety performances and Australia's National Showcase at the Gold Coast. This year, Jodie has re-enrolled with TWA after a few years break, to dance for fun and excercise. My second and third daughters also followed suit. One thing that really stands out with this school is that Miss Tammy Worth is involved with every one of her pupils. Students
