Since 1967
Dance Max was established by Grace Callahan in 1967.
Starting with a handful of students who were neighbours at that time,
the school now has over 400 students. We hold classes at Beecroft,
Turramurra, Wahroonga & West Lindfield.
Our Values
Since it's
beginning, the school has always had a simple goal, to impart a genuine
& lifelong love of
dance.
Each student is equally important:
We don't pick favourites.
We consciously strive to ensure that all students are fairly
represented in dances.
All shapes & sizes are welcome:
Having a fuller figure should never be a reason for not
enjoying dance.
We never pass comment on the weight of a student.
We
never weigh students.
We apply sensitivity in the choice of concert costumes to take into account
the physique of each member of a class.
We strive to create a positive learning
atmosphere:
Dance should be a truly wonderful experience. Our
teachers go through an internal training program which emphasises
our values & positive teaching techniques. The current principal,
Ann-Marie Callahan, was belittled as a 5 year old at another school.
She didn't want to continue dance but her mother wisely sought out a
more positive school. As a result, Ann-Marie went on to develop a
love of dance & has had almost a lifelong association both with
dancing & with this school.
We're a Recreational School:
