Melbourne Academy of the Arts 74 Herald Street, Cheltenham, Victoria 3192

"My daughter joined MAARTS 3 years ago, she is currently training in the Full Time program. When it became clear that her dream was to become a Ballerina, we did a lot of research before choosing a school in order to fulfil her dreams. Her transition into MAARTS went very smoothly. I have to say that I’m extremely happy about the training program, it’s a very complete curriculum, the teachers really care for their students, the Production is an amazing experience, the studios are world class and above all the nurturing environment has made my daughter thrive and feel like she’s at home. Ms Jasmina is an amazing teacher, her knowledge and attention to detail helps each student along their personal journey. Not only does she teach the art form of ballet, but she does it in a way that will allow the students to have long and healthy careers if they desire to continue their dancing journey. Melbourne Academy of the arts has helped my daughter to advance both physically and mentally. She has been able to progress immensely with the loving care and support of all her teachers. I can’t recommend a better school than MAARTS."

"My daughter has been fortunate to be part of the MAARTS community for last 10 months. This is truly an exceptional school. The teaching faculty is excellent – they have all had exceptional careers prior to teaching at MAARTS and they are very attentive to the students. The facilities are state of the art (they host world class workshops at the school that their students often have access to). I believe that their annual productions are the best in Australia. MAARTS students have the opportunity to share the stage with some of the world’s best ballet dancers – it’s truly a magical experience for the students!!! My daughter has improved more than I could have imagined since she joined the school so we couldn’t be happier. I am very grateful that my daughter is part of the MAARTS community. Thank you MAARTS!"

"Our daughter joined MAARTS about a year ago, our experience with MAARTS was AMAZING from the start. The staff is friendly, and the facilities are at the highest level. Since our daughter joined, it was impressive to see her development and grow. Her dancing technique has improved dramatically, which could not be possible without the welcoming and enriching environment along with high standards of professionalism that MAARTS provides. It is very rare to find top-level teachers that brings the perfect balance of discipline, challenge and motivation to the students and helping to deliver a better version of themselves. The caring and focus on our daughter individually gave her so much confidence and trust to push and challenge herself. MAARTS is a second home for our daughter and if you are looking for a place that wants the best for your child, A place that is providing the right guidance, support, and taking them through the journey of pursuing their aspirations and dreams MAARTS is the place to be."

"Inspirational school full of dedicated and talented teachers. Their invaluable knowledge and expertise has enabled our daughter to truly enjoy her love of dance and achieve outstanding local and international results. With the best training facilities I have seen so far in Australia and prestigious guest artists and teachers from around the world, this supportive institution has allowed our daughter to have access to the very best of the dance world - a dream school for every ballet dancer!"

"MAARTS is an extremely outstanding and very elite ballet school and highly professional. providing their students with world class qualified teachers and amazing facilities. My daughter has been at MAARTS for only a short time but what she has achieved in that time has blown me away. Kris and Jasmina and the teaching faculty are so passionate about each and every students ballet journey and they do everything they can to make their journey amazing. We had the pleasure of getting to know the school and the students at different ballet competitions and various master classes before we auditioned and it was incredible to see how supportive they are not only to their own students but towards other students from different schools. I can’t thank MAARTS enough for everything they have done so far and I look forward to seeing not only my daughter grow towards a career in ballet but all the students grow and achieve amazing things! Wonderful school very elite training and highly recommend! The opportunities presented at this school are incredible and so much attention to detail with everything they do. Thank you MAARTS ❤️"
