Westcoast Academy of Performing Arts

Amazing! Signed my little guy up for the acro class and it’s kinda like baby boot camp for dancers, they make the kids stretch and work on core to then safely cartwheel and master handstands. Pretty impressive teachers keep it engaging and fun.

Westcoast Academy of Preforming Arts is a fantastic option for dance classes in Victoria .The studio and staff are open, inclusive, talented and friendly. They are organized, have excellent communication to the parents and create the most supportive environment for kids and families. We are so glad we found WAPA.

Westcoast Academy of Performing Arts (WAPA) is a dance school like no other in Victoria. The high quality of instruction combined with a nurturing atmosphere allows any dancer to reach their full potential and be confident in their unique abilities. My daughters have been dancing with Dana & WAPA since they were 2 years old. They are now 17 and 13 and have become amazing young women and dancers largely because of their exemplary training they have received from WAPA.

A great and welcoming place for young dancers to learn and grow!

We love WAPA. Our girls have been dancing there for over 4 years and all the instructors have been excellent. I am so thankful for a studio that lets kids be kids while giving them quality dance instruction.

My family is loving WAPA so far. My child is in 2 classes, and is enjoying every second.

Westcoast Academy is the perfect blend of personal and professional in a dance studio. Youth are valued, encouraged, respected and supported to be the best dancers they can be. Both my daughters have been with the studio for many years now, love it and have never looked back! Up to date and superbly qualified teachers. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a great environment for their aspiring dancer!

My daughters had tried several dance schools in Victoria before joining Westcoast Academy of Performing Arts nine years ago and thanks to Dana and her team of talented and very accomplished teachers, this is still such an amazing school!WAPA has intensive, creative and innovative dance programs, that can be tailored to the student so they can pursue their dance dreams and make them a reality. It has been so exciting over the years to see many of her students go onto professional dance careers.Dana and her team have that special talent of recognizing each of the students inner strengths and uniquenesses, teaching them how to express this through the artistry of dance.Since Dana is a RAD examiner, she is dedicated to providing quality instruction and teaching solid technical skills so they are successful with all their dance examinations.WAPA encourages the students to work hard, to the best of their abilities, and persevere with achieving their goals, all such important life skills.It has been such a pleasure and inspiring to watch her young students mature into beautiful , confident and powerful performers!This company really stands out from the rest and so do her students. You should go and see WAPA's year end show in June and see for yourself.

Great school that offers structured, fun dance classes all year round. Every student is important, not just the “stars”. Emphasis is on achieving goals, building confidence and developing life skills. We love Miss. Suzy!
