Welcome to Westside Performing Arts, a renowned institution located in Penrith, Australia. Situated at 37-47 Borec Road, Westside is an establishment that caters to students of all ages, from as young as two years old to late teens.
At Westside, we offer a comprehensive range of dance classes and training programs that cater to various interests and skill levels.

No matter what creative outlet you're looking for, you'll find it at Westside.
Founded over 20 years ago by Jenine and Laura, Westside brings together their extensive experience in the entertainment industry as professional dancers, singers, and actors. They have worked on various musicals such as Sugar Babies, Anything Goes, La Cage Aux Folles, Nine, Seven Little Australians, and Me and My Girl. Laura has had the opportunity to work with esteemed professionals like Peter Allen, David Atkins, and Gary McDonald. With their expertise, they have established a Performing Arts School that is highly regarded in the Western Area.
One of our notable achievements is our long-standing partnership with the Penrith Panthers, where for the past 15 years, we have managed the Pantherette cheer squad and the Kitty Kats, the junior cheer squad. Many children have grown up at Westside and have gone on to pursue full-time dance and drama courses, now working in the entertainment industry themselves. Some of our students have even had lead roles in productions like Annie the Musical, appeared in commercials, performed on cruise ships, and showcased their talents on TV shows such as The X Factor and Australia’s Got Talent.
We take great pride in our achievements at Westside and are committed to providing excellent tuition and guidance to our current students. Our goal is to inspire the next generation to love dance and create lifelong friendships. We strive to create an environment where our students feel inspired and cared for, to the extent that they bring their own children along for the Westside experience, passing on the love for the performing arts through generations.
Whether you are a beginner or an experienced performer, Westside Performing Arts is the perfect place for you to nurture your passion for dance, enhance your skills, and be a part of a vibrant community. Join us at Westside and embark on a journey of artistic growth, friendship, and endless possibilities.

Reviews
"My daughter has been dancing here since she was 2 now 6, the teachers are amazing, they are supportive, encouraging, positive and friendly while also bringing out the best in each student. Thank you for everything you do for our children. I highly recommend WPA to anyone looking for a supportive, high quality dance school."
"Great dance studio with fantastic teaching and support staff. Very family friendly and the kids love it! Wouldn't take my daughter to any other studio, her confidence and coordination have improved so much since she started at Westside Performing Arts. Highly recommended!!"
"So happy with Westside Performing Arts. From being really reluctant and saying dancing was too hard, Eleanor (7) is now enthusiastically going to her ballet class. We are super excited for her. I would not have believed she could move so gracefully and with such feeling. So glad we kept her going to class. A big thank you to her teachers!"
"My daughter has danced at Westside Performing Arts for 9 years, since she was 5. Laura and Jenine offer a safe and inclusive environment which was more than evidenced when the outbreak of COVID quickly shut the studio to face to face classes. They quickly adapted to offer online classes which they opened up to not only students at the studio but to anyone that wanted to keep active. The highlight so far was being able to tour with Westside to the USA on their trip that is organised every 5 years. Not only did they get to dance at Disney World and on The Royal Caribbean Oasis of the Seas, they kids attended workshops to expand their skills. The memories and lifelong friends as a result of this trip are priceless. I highly recommend WPA to anyone that is considering starting their child in dancing or looking for a new studio. You can’t go wrong."
"WPA has been the driving force behind my acceptance into The Australian Ballet School. I cannot thank them enough for the guidance they have given me along with the skills needed to achieve what I have. I have been part of the WPA family for over 6 years now and I wouldn’t be the dancer I am if it wasn’t for Jenine, Laura and all of the other wonderful staff."
