About us                                                        

Just over 20 years ago, a young girl dreamt of opening her own dance school. After fulfilling her ambitions of becoming a professional dancer, which took her to Japan and all over Australia, that day finally came for Miss Donna Claughton in 1988.

With 35 founding students, ‘Pirouette Dance Academy’ was born and quickly grew over the years, becoming well recognised as a place where talent was nurtured, friendships built and lifelong skills learnt.

Over its ten-year history, Pirouette Dance Academy’s journey has been rich. Donna and her students shared success through their annual performances and at some of Melbourne’s leading competitions, which prepared many students for professional careers.

Ten years ago, the school was relaunched as Dance Network and hasn’t looked back. Dance Network’s team teaches with passion and love and knows every child is a star. Some students will go on to pursue dance careers after their time at Dance Network, but every student will take with them respect, loyalty, discipline and confidence in themselves.

All teachers and staff hold a current Working with Children Check.
