Melbourne Acrobatic And Dance Studio / MAD Performing Arts

My daughter just started and she's doing the 2-3 year old classes. The most caring staff and Nat is so helpful if your daughter loves dancing this is a very nurturing dance studio

I had the absolute pleasure of teaching for this studio. As soon as you step into the building, you're welcomed by an uplifting and positive atmosphere. The children, parents and other teachers are humble and inclusive, which is a testament to the studio owner, Natalie Bale. Natalie is a gentle, kind-hearted and encouraging person who is highly qualified and an expert in her field. The studio has a strong focus on safe dance practice, dance technique, equality, and is a safe space for children to learn. For any parents and students looking for a dance studio, I couldn't recommend this one highly enough.

Lovely, caring professional dance school with a community spirit! Natalie Bale has put so much love and thought into making this a place where dancers of all abilities want to be. Highly recommended!

My daughter has been dancing at MAD for five years now (since she was two) and it is a wonderful dance school.
Miss Natalie (Principal) is warm, welcoming and encouraging, with amazing skills, offering continuous improvement to her students. It is a very inclusive school, and the camaraderie is evident for all to see.
The studio space is wonderful and custom built for dance.
I couldn't recommend MAD more highly.

Fabulous teachers and fabulous community! Even in 2020 my daughter did not want to miss a class and the extra opportunities on offer, even in the holidays, are sensational. Thanks MAD team!

A very nurturing environment to learn in with a lot of friendly people. The acro program has just reached a new level and deserves a mention as it is fun and easy to learn tricks in. Ballet at this school always been my highlight as the dance school offers an exstensive RAD program. It's an amazing school to learn at.

What a beautiful environment for my daughter to learn within. She has been there for the past two years, since she was 2yo, and was cared for with such a nurturing touch by Miss Natalie. She looks forward to her dance classes every week and the annual concerts are incredible. There’s a lovely community within the school too, with the “big girls” looking after the “little girls” and a really friendly parent network. Can’t imagine sending my daughter anywhere else!

Fabulous dance school, wonderful teachers and a lovely community of dance parents. Miss Nat the principal is so encouraging and nurturing to all her students, she has been wonderful in helping with confidence building for all of my daughter's who now love performing on stage.

Miss Natalie & the MAD team have been the perfect dance school for my girls for nearly 10 years now. From acro to hip hop to jazz & ballet, they’ve loved it all & still look forward to every class!

MAD Studios is a wonderful, fun and nurturing environment for students of all ages to learn a range of dance styles. My two daughters currently learn Tiny Tots and Baby Ballet from Miss Natalie and they can't wait for their lessons each week! What a great teacher and a great school. Highly recommend MAD!
