Tara Becker School of Dance 2 Drummond Street, Wollongong, New South Wales 2500
About the Business
Welcome to Tara Becker School of Dance, located in the heart of Wollongong on Drummond Street. As an establishment and point of interest, we take pride in offering a high-quality dance program with wholesome family values at our core.
At Tara Becker School of Dance, we believe that a dance studio should be more than just a place to learn technical and artistic dance skills. It should be a place where students can grow and develop their abilities while staying true to themselves and their values. Whether you're a parent looking for a nurturing environment for your child or an aspiring dancer seeking to enhance your skills, we are here for you.
Our school is housed in a purpose-built space that boasts a spacious lobby, three studios, and a musical theatre booth. With amenities like air conditioning, mirrors, and viewing windows, we have created a beautiful home for our dance family. We take great pride in providing a comfortable and inspiring environment for our students to thrive in.
As a parent, I understand the importance of finding the right dance school for your child. When my daughter started her journey at Tara Becker School of Dance five years ago, I was impressed by the friendly atmosphere, caring teachers, and age-appropriate dance program for preschoolers. From her very first ballet class, my daughter Penelope fell in love with dancing and has never looked back.
The studio quickly became a second home for us. Penelope formed strong friendships with other girls, and I had the opportunity to make lasting connections with other moms. Every week, we would gather around the viewing window, eagerly watching our little princesses dance their hearts out.
As Penelope grew older, her interest in different dance styles and trying new things increased. Thanks to the flexible timetable at Tara Becker School of Dance, adding extra classes became easier. With back-to-back classes in each age group, Penelope was able to expand her dance repertoire without overwhelming our schedule.
The teachers at Tara Becker School of Dance have been exceptional, providing a nurturing and supportive environment for Penelope's growth. I am always confident that she is in good hands when I drop her off for class. It has been amazing to witness how the teachers challenge and inspire her as she progresses through her dance journey.
In late 2018, Tara Becker School of Dance moved to a larger studio, providing even more opportunities for Penelope to explore new classes and dedicate more time to the styles she loves. The expanded studios and comfortable lobby have created a more enjoyable experience for both students and parents. Each studio is equipped with viewing windows, allowing us to drop in occasionally and witness the progress our children are making.
I never imagined myself as a dance mom, but being part of this caring community of dance moms has been a wonderful experience. Seeing the joy that dance brings to Penelope's life has been truly rewarding. Thanks to Tara's vision and dedication, she has built a dance school that prioritizes excellent facilities, strong values, and integrity. Our students are not only taught dance skills but also important life lessons such as respect, teamwork, and commitment.
I am grateful that I chose Tara Becker School of Dance for my daughter. It has become a place where she can grow as a dancer, make lifelong friends, and discover her true potential. Join our dance family today and experience the magic of Tara Becker School of Dance for yourself.

Reviews
"We have been at this wonderful dance school for 5 years after being referred by another dance teacher. My 2 daughters are very happy and we have all made lasting friendships. The values that Tara promotes come through so clearly - it's not just words and PR. All capabilities and interests are catered for and the dance routines and costumes are age appropriate and inclusive. Receptionist Michelle is an asset to the studio - making every child feel special and always assisting busy mums and dads with their queries. Looking forward to another great year with TBSOD."
"My daughter has been doing classes at at TBSOD for four years. It is a beautiful environment with wonderful values. The staff and the students are all very caring. My daughter has made some wonderful friends and the older students have been kind and I couldn't ask for better role models. I have also made some great friends with other mums so it has been a great experience for our family."
"You will not find a better dance school than Tara Becker School of Dance. We started 10 years ago when my daughter was 3 and wouldn’t go anywhere else. Family values are of high importance. Every child is made to feel special no matter how good a dancer they are. Hard work and effort gets noticed. All dances are age appropriate and costumes are always tasteful. Amazing friendships are formed and the teachers are all so caring. The receptionist Michelle is incredible. The kids all adore her and she knows everyone by name. You couldn’t meet a more beautiful human than Michelle. And lastly, I have so much respect and admiration for the owner Tara Shaw. Small business is a tough gig and she handles everything with grace, always putting the dancers and their families first. Why would you go anywhere else!"
"Wow. As a parent of two students who attend the school and are not competition dancers, just social dancers I am shocked at the review below. Never have I felt pushed aside or ignored by Michelle. In fact, Michelle went out of her way (chasing truck drivers....long story) to ensure my daughter had a Snow White costume that fit her for the concert. Even though my kids do not contribute to the various competitions that their friends attend, they are always treated as valued students and receive the same attention and education as the ‘true’ dance kids (sometimes more attention!). I distinctly remember approaching Tara with another parent stating that she should ask the studio parents for assistance with the move as we would all like to help. This was the parents’ idea, not Tara’s. If anything, Tara appeared shocked that we would be happy to help. The studio as a whole have always been very inclusive and supportive of my little darlings (who have additional behavioural and mental needs) and I would (and have) recommend them to everyone. There is a reason why so many families have joined and stayed for years. There is no 'Dance Mom' mentaility, just love and support for all kids. It really is a wonderful environment with patient, caring teachers and a village of parents all willing to help out. My kids are just thriving!"
"I started dancing at Tara Becker School of dance right when it opened, when I was 6 years old, I am now 15 years of age and I could not say a bad thing about it. The dance school community is like none other, we are one big happy family who is in constant support of one another. The dance teachers are absolutely incredible and always serve only the best. Michelle at front desk reception is the kindest person you will ever come across and always is ready to help anybody who needs it. The dances are ALWAYS top quality which the teachers put months of effort into. Every year my family comes away absolutely amazed by the quality of the end of year dance concert. Overall TBSOD is the place to be and I could not be happier that I can call myself a member of the Tara Becker dance family and I would definitely recommend this studio to students of all ages and interests."
