Newcastle Contemporary Dance Academy is the best dance academy for young girls and boys. I had my 3 granddaughters there for 10 years Cherylann is absolutely the best, an organised and caring teacher .

 My girls have been dancing at Newcastle Contemporary Dance Academy for the past 6 years and have loved every moment of it. They have learnt so much, built confidence and made many new friends. Cherylann is a very loving, patient and professional dance teacher. She treats all students equally and looks after them as one of her own. I can highly recommend Newcastle Contemporary Dance Academy to anyone.

 I have been dancing at Newcastle Contemporary Dance Academy with Miss Cheryl for seven great years and I have definitely grown as a strong, independent dancer, in which I have immensely improved. In not only my dance techniques and skills, but also the life long understandings of teamwork, discipline and most importantly dedication. The studio has a great variety of dance styles which I have been able to take up over the years! At NCDA I have had the opportunity to make many new friendships with so many supportive people that I will definitely cherish. Newcastle Contemporary Dance Academy is a great environment to dance, learn and to have fun!

 NCDA has been a beautiful place for both my girls to dance. Miss Cheryl has always been there for them, both on and off the dance floor. One of my girls was even given the chance to perform a solo, choreographing her own dance under the tutelage of Miss Cheryl, this was very special indeed. I cannot say enough in regards to Miss Cheryl’s professionalism and care for each and every student, she always treats them like they are her own kids with love and kindness. I wouldn’t hesitate in referring anyone to NCDA.

 NCDA is a wonderful, kind, caring & welcoming place for any student who is wanting to learn to dance. Miss Cheryl cares about all her students so much, not only for dancing but what they are achieving outside of the dance studio. Cheryl works so tirelessly to give a wonderful variety of dance styles and so many hours are put in behind the scenes to always ensure that her students are only even given the best. A quality dance school, with quality staff and most of all the best teacher and role model you could ask for!!

 It has been my pleasure to have been associated with Cherylann Bailey Stannett and Newcastle Contemporary Dance Academy for the last 24 years. My daughter started with Cheryl as a 5 year old, finally tearfully leaving at 27 when she could no longer fit in the time necessary for lessons. Cheryl is the consummate professional...skilled, responsible, patient, caring and, above all, a beautiful role model for your child. She is an extremely talented dancer in her own right and works tirelessly to conduct lessons and put together the end of year show, including assembling 1000’s of costumes and accessories every year herself. Her versatility is evident in the diverse range of genres she teaches...from classical ballet to contemporary to even cheerleading plus more. Her only expectation is that your child tries their best and no one is ever discriminated against....there is no “Dance Moms” pressure in this studio, but respect, tolerance, manners and excellent presentation is insisted upon. Cheryl is at all times very approachable and accommodating. After all these years I simply could not recommend her enough, it’s what a dance studio should be...a fun, happy, non-judgemental place to learn and love dance....I simply can’t wait for the next generation of my family to learn with her!

 NCDA has been my home away from home since i can remember. Cheryl creates a nurturing and fun environment where everyone feels free of judgment and full of laughter. I’ve formed beautiful friendships over the years with people who share the same interests. I cannot recommend her and her business enough.

 I highly recommend NCDA. My 3 daughters have enjoyed the classes so much they have each picked up extra dance classes this year. Cherylann is a great teacher and role model. She is warm and professional. The end of year performance at Civic Theatre is a highlight for us.

 I absolutely adored dancing here! Apart from the excellent family that Cheryl has built, the best feature has to be that the classes can be as complex and intense as you make it one week and as relaxed and easy going if you choose so the next. You get out what you put in but no matter what you'll always leave having had a laugh with friends.
