FNQ Dance Academy has been in operation since 2012 and has grown to be one of the largest dance schools in the region. Our main goal is to allow students the opportunity to experience dance in a nurturing, family-orientated centre.
Our mission is to provide the dancers of Cairns with:

• Quality training in a comfortable space without risk of injury

• Two convenient locations, The City and The Grounds

• Professional, dedicated, well experienced teaching staff that encourage students to reach their full potential, while being supportive and nurturing of their dreams
• A focus on best practice in motor skill acquisition and control, exercise principles and safe dance practice, incorporating prehabilitation into regular classes
• Capped numbers in each class so every student has the attention, space and time they deserve to achieve their best
• Exposure to the industry’s most respected teachers and choreographers on a regular basis via workshops and guest classes

Whether you are two or 72, a beginner or looking to embark on a professional career, there is a range of programs to choose from. Classes are offered in classical ballet, tap, jazz, contemporary, hip hop, musical theatre, and acrobatics.
With a specialty under 5s pre-school program, boys only classes, recreational stream classes, competition and exam stream classes, extension program and casual adult classes there truly is something for anyone wanting to experience the joy of dance!
