About the Business
Welcome to Dance 4 All, an all-inclusive dance studio located in the heart of Footscray, Australia. Our mission is to inspire dancers of all ages and abilities to develop a passion for the art of dance.
At Dance 4 All, we offer a wide range of classes and private tuition in various dance styles including acrobatics, jazz, ballet, contemporary/lyrical, tap, and hip hop. We also have specialized programs such as Progressing Ballet Technique, Kinder dance, All-abilities (Rhythm Works Integrative Dance), and Acrobatic arts.
Our classes are specially designed to cater to students with developmental delays, physical challenges, learning differences, and sensory sensitivities. We believe in creating a supportive and inclusive environment where every dancer feels welcome and supported. Assistive buddies, including parents, guardians, carers, therapists, or siblings, are encouraged to attend classes with enrolled students at no extra cost.
In our tap dance classes, students will learn the iconic Broadway dance form that uses metal plates on tap shoes to create percussive and rhythmic patterns. They will build their tap basics, improve technique, and develop musical timing as they progress through levels.
Acro dance combines classical dance technique with precision acrobatic elements. Our certified Acrobatic Arts instructor, Miss Alyshia, ensures that students learn acro technique safely and effortlessly. The Acro Arts syllabus provides progressions that enable students to achieve tricks and skills with confidence. Exams are also available upon request.
Contemporary/Lyrical dance is a modern and interpretive dance form that uses ballet technique to express emotions and tell stories. Students explore ease of movement, natural alignment, and concepts of flow, weight, rebound, suspension, contraction, release, fall, and recovery.
Our classes are carefully designed to be engaging, fun, and functional. Students develop fundamental movement skills, social skills, and self-expression through singing, leaping, turning, playing instruments, and jumping. Props are used to enhance technique, and each term follows a structured lesson plan to increase familiarity and challenge students' abilities.
Miss Alyshia, our experienced educator, is aware of developmental goals and milestones and incorporates them into the class content. We currently offer Kinder Ballet, Jazz, and Acro classes for young dancers.
Classical ballet is the foundation of every dancer's training. In our ballet classes, students develop grace, poise, and a strong sense of alignment, posture, and coordination. Miss Alyshia is trained in the Royal Academy of Dance syllabus and Australian Teachers of Dancing, ensuring students learn exercises from both syllabi to develop their knowledge of classical ballet techniques and lines.
Hip Hop is a unique and exciting style of street dance that has become a favorite in the dance culture. Our hip hop classes focus on developing children's own style and personalities. Students learn techniques such as popping and locking, waving, and breaking. A typical class involves warm-up, learning new moves, a dance routine, and a freestyle circle.
Jazz dance is a vibrant and energetic dance form often performed to Broadway or pop music. Our jazz classes include warm-up/stretch, body isolations, jazz technique, and a dance routine. Students learn turns, kicks, and leaps while improving stamina, coordination, strength, and flexibility.

"I cannot recommend Dance 4 All enough! Miss Alyshia, with the support of Daniel and Linda, work so hard to provide a fun, safe and supportive environment for our kids. I have seen such an improvement in both of my children since attending the All Abilities class on a Saturday morning. They are improving in their motor skills as well as increasing their confidence and further developing social skills. Thank you Dance 4 All for bringing such joy to the kids each week! ❤️"
"I cannot recommend Dance 4 All and Miss Alyshia enough! Assisted by Linda and Daniel, this team of dancing angels works hard to make sure our kids move their bodies, learn to dance and just have a heap of fun. It’s worth noting that this is a truly inclusive class. I have been to other dance schools which said they were “inclusive” but suggested my autistic daughter have individual lessons till she was ready to join the group. That is not inclusion at all. At Dance 4 All, such a policy would be unthinkable, Miss Alyshia welcomes all children in exactly the same way, and they are all encouraged and supported to take part in the class in whatever way suits them and their needs. Not only do the kids have a great time, but as a parent, you get to connect with other parents who are sometimes on a similar journey. I have made some wonderful and supportive friends in this way. Saturday mornings at Dance 4 All are a joy not just for my daughter, who adores the class, but for me too. I recommend unreservedly!"
"5 stars all the way. Miss Alyshia goes above and beyond for the kids absolutely amazing with the help of Daniel and Linda between all three they have had many many years working with special needs kids . It's a safe and happy environment for all the kids it doesn't matter what level your child is at there always the friendly staff to help help out . It's awesome to see the connections the kids are making with each other also. Thanks dance 4 all xoxox Monica"
