Deanne Fordham School of Dance (DFSD) was established in 2001 and offers classes in ballet, jazz, tap, contemporary, hip hop, musical theatre & drama.

With just over 200 students, we are a medium sized school, but we do like to keep a small school attitude in that every student's needs are important to us and we aim to nuture the love of dance in every pupil. Concerts & exams are a fun, enjoyable experience and very family friendly.
Our main studio is located at 5/19-23 Clarinda Road, Oakleigh South. This is a large, purpose designed, unit offering 2 studios with sprung timber flooring, mounted barres, mirrors, air-conditioning & fans and a quality sound system.
The studio boasts a large parent’s waiting room with air-conditioning & ducted heating, student wait and change area, free tea & coffee, kitchenette, shower facilities, toddler play corner, TV and DVD facilities and plenty of off-street parking.
Principals Message
"We seek to promote dance as both a recreational hobby and an art form, and we aim to provide our students the opportunity to participate and view dance as an educational tool, recreational activity, and performing art. One of our core motivations is to stimulate the imagination of our students - to understand their potential artistic talent, and to encourage self-confidence & personal growth."
