Petitestars Dance Academy is a renowned dance studio catering to children aged 2 to 14 years old, offering a range of classes from preschool to senior levels. Established in July 2015 by Director Jackie Woodward and Head Teacher Tiziana Bertaglia, also known as “Miss Tizy,” the academy prides itself on nurturing each child’s individual abilities and fostering their creativity. With small class sizes to ensure personalized attention, Petitestars follows the Australian Institute of Classical Dance syllabus, providing a comprehensive dance education that includes ballet, tap, and modern styles.
At Petitestars, the focus is not only on technical training but also on creating a supportive and inclusive environment where children can build friendships and develop a love for dance. Miss Tizy’s extensive background in ballet and teaching, coupled with her passion for guiding young dancers, has led to the studio’s success in producing accomplished students who excel in exams and competitions. The academy’s family-oriented approach extends to open-door preschool classes, allowing parents and carers to witness their little stars’ progress and participate in the joy of dance alongside their children.
With a team of dedicated instructors like Miss Emma and Sophie, who bring their own expertise and love for dance to the studio, Petitestars Dance Academy offers a holistic dance experience that goes beyond just technical training. From tap to jazz and contemporary styles, the academy provides a well-rounded curriculum that encourages students to explore their potential and express themselves through movement. By fostering a safe and fun learning environment, Petitestars aims to empower children to shine brightly and reach their full potential as dancers.
