“I love how magical TDC makes concert for all of us! A TDC concert never fails to provide us dancers with positive, organised and stress free environment back stage, always hyping us up and showing lots of love and support
...I am so, so grateful and fortunate to have the opportunity to dance amazing choreography on a big beautiful stage with some of my best friends I have made through the years. I live for the little moments and core memories that make me proud to be a dancer at The Dance Collective.”

"Dancing at TDC has been a weekly highlight for the past 12 years. Moving to music both gives and releases energy like no other activity. It has been a way to challenge myself and discover my body's capabilities amongst endless fun and meeting great people.”

"TDC is my happy place. I am able to be just me. Kerry. Not a wife, mother, granny or (school) teacher. Just me."
- Kerry Bishop
“I want to be a hip hop dancer when I grow up.”
“The feeling that you get when you’re in the wings.”
"Charisse really has created something truly special at TDC. From my first class, the friendships made and the family I gained has been life changing.
The endless support you feel from every dancer and teacher at TDC, it gives you the belief in yourself to keep going, to try new things, to push yourself beyond your own bubble. There is so much more to just dancing when you are part of TDC. I have cherished every class, every style and every routine. Thank you for everything you have taught me."
- Tara Black
"It is really important for you all to know how grateful we are for the kindness, support and encouragement that exists in your dance studio. It is an absolute pleasure to be apart of a community that is so focussed on connection and enjoyment for all members - it is such a rarity in todays world! Thank you for allowing our children to have the opportunity to dance on stage and share their gifts and talents with the audience. What a joy it is to see children of all ages (and their assistants!) have so much fun while they perform."
- Chanelle Spark
"Dance and TDC has been her escape. It's where she's found her joy and calm.
As a mum trying to help her daughter I cannot thank you all enough, especially her teachers, for the impact you've had on her. What you're doing is so much bigger than just teaching dance and I hope you all recognise that.
Congrats on another great year."
- Nicole Smith
“Wow wow wow is all that springs to mind! What a show you guys put on Saturday night, I was blown away by the entire production, congratulations to you, the team and the dancers.
It was an absolute pleasure to see what you guys create and the passion and community that I’m sure was felt by all in the audience was simply stunning, you must be so very proud of the ‘Village; you have created at TDC, and the love in the room for dance and each other was very evident!”
- Amanda Butler
"TDC is great because it is an environment where everyone can share their love for dance no matter what level they are at. My favourite part of the year is concert where everyone gets a chance to share their hard work and dedication with the rest of the community."
