Established in 1957 by visionary Miss Ann Roberts AO, the Ann Roberts School of Dance has long been a cornerstone in shaping young talents and fostering lifelong friendships through the world of dance. Now under the loving stewardship of Ann's daughter Jane and her husband André Reynaud, the school continues to evolve, mirroring the ever-changing landscape of dance while preserving its core values of high-quality training in a caring, fun-filled environment.
We are proud to offer a diverse range of dance styles to suit every age and skill level, from classical ballet and tap to highland dance and creative movement. Our experienced teachers prepare students for exams by renowned institutions such as the Royal Academy of Dance and the Australian Dance Association for Jazz and Tap, ensuring a well-rounded education and mastery in the dance form of your choice.
So come, dance, learn and grow with us at the Ann Roberts School of Dance in Townsville.
At the Ann Roberts School of Dance, we recognise the transformative power of dance, not just as a physical discipline but as a medium for self-expression, personal growth and community building. Many of our past students have soared to great heights in their dance careers, joining prestigious companies and earning accolades worldwide. Names like Natalie Weir, Kurt Phelan and Tim Coleman are just a few who have carried the legacy of the school forward into the professional world.
We understand that not everyone aims for a professional career in dance, and that's perfectly okay. The joy of dance is universal and can be a profoundly rewarding experience in and of itself. That's why every year, during term 4, we stage a grand recital, offering all our students the thrilling opportunity to experience live theatre from the best seats in the house—on stage! Complete with professional set designs, sound and lighting, this showcase is a much-anticipated event, supported and enjoyed by the public.
Whether you're a lover of dance or an aspiring professional, you're not just joining a dance school—you're becoming a part of a warm, inclusive and dynamic community.
