Studio Directors

Miss Danielle & Miss Loren have a combine 40 + years dance teaching experience. Over the years they have not only produced award winning choreography but have fostered a love of dance in hundreds of students and have celebrated many achievements no matter how big or small.

Miss Danielle

Miss Danielle is an award-winning choreographer and has not only created many solos and troupes that have won interstate competitions, championships and scholarships, but also created works for entertainment galas, charity events and other notable performances. She has completed examinations at the highest level obtainable in both Tap & Jazz and her Advanced 1 examination in Cecchetti Classical Ballet.

Although, for Miss Danielle it’s not about the awards. It’s about the feeling when her students are up on stage nailing a routine that they have been working tirelessly on or the look on a students face when they nail a new skill for the first time.

When Miss Danielle is not teaching at the studio or choreographing routines, she enjoys running her dog Leeroy. Look out for her, you might see her around!

Her tap and jazz routines have won many awards at both interstate eisteddfods and inter-state scholarships. Miss Loren runs seminars across Australia and was an instructor of the Southern Federation of Dance Hip Hop syllabus. She has choreographed for local  primary school productions and run holiday programs for school aged children.

Anyone who has taken one of Miss Lorens classes will tell you that her smile and laugh are infectious. Her love for teaching is obvious and anyone and everyone will tell you this after taking her class.

On the weekends, Miss Loren loves to walk around the lake with her husband, three children and her dog Oreo.

‘We’ve been at Dance Legacy for 4 years now- in that time both our daughter & son have absolutely found their passion for dance, and have built resilience and confidence in themselves thanks to their encouraging and supportive teachers. Not only is the quality of dance and production phenomenal, but the amazing community behind Dance Legacy is what keeps us coming back for more & more each year. Our favourite nights of each week, and the showcases are the most exciting events of the year! We couldn’t recommend Dance Legacy highly enough. Best thing we’ve ever done for our kids!’

DL Minis Student

Thank you to this amazing dance school and teachers!!! My daughter Charlotte started in minis and her first class, she cried the whole class. Miss Dani sat patiently with her and watched Miss Loren teach the class. Not only are they patient, they go above and beyond for their students. There is so much love and respect to their students and to the work they put into the dance school. Thanks to Miss Dani and Miss Loren, Charlotte is confident and thriving in her dancing!! We couldn't ask for a better family/community to be apart of!!!

Madelaine D

Mother

Dance legacy is an amazing dance school. All 4 of my girls attend and they love each and every class. The teachers are kind, understanding and really put it in effort to make sure all the kids understand and grasp the concepts taught. During competitions and concerts the teachers are very kind to the kids backstage and encourage the kids to be friendly and kind to all other competitors. This creates a beautiful atmosphere amongst the kids.

Emmeline M

Parent

We have been to a few different dance schools and Dance Legacy exceeds them all. The teachers are amazing and friendly and create a very inclusive and comfortable environment for the students. To the point where my daughter misses being at dance lessons during the holidays and counts down the days until term starts! The school provides many exciting opportunities for the students outside of regular dance classes too. We are so grateful to be a part of this community.
