Our approach to teaching dance is based on a philosophy to nurture and develop talent, while also inspiring a love and appreciation of many dance styles. Having operated as a successful Brisbane dance school for almost two decades, we appreciate the importance of providing clear guidance about how we work together with our students, teachers, parents and carers. Our approach is reflected in our values and provides assurance to our families that we are here to support them on their child’s dance journey.
Here’s what you can expect from us in our approach
Clear communication
We stay in touch with CM Dance family members via email, using this channel to send regular newsletters and other important information. Our families are also welcome to join the private CM Dance Parents Facebook group, noting that all content is monitored to ensure its appropriateness and relevance. Irish dance parents are also invited to join the private Irish Dancing Parent Facebook group.
