Our team
The Goodhew Dance team of qualified and friendly dance
instructors have a range of skills they can share with our students.
Goodhew Dance is one of the leading dance institutions in Sydney’s inner suburbs. At our studio, we aim to encourage a widespread love of dance, welcoming children and adults who can’t help but feel the rhythm!
As a family operated business established in 1989, we are so proud of our students, their lifetime friendships and everything they achieve.
Our studio was established by the Goodhew sisters, Mandie, Mylie and Melanie. Over thirty years, we have built a reputation not only for outstanding dance training but for an environment where every student feels at home.
Past students now return to Goodhew and to bring their young children to classes. We are excited to have created a studio which so many local residents love to come back to.
Join us today with a free trial week and introduce your child to our wonderful world of dance, friendship and fun! Don’t forget to ask us about the Active Kids and Creative Kids vouchers when you enrol.

I love that the students at Goodhew come into class willing to learn and constantly push themselves to be better dancers.
Achievement in exams is a main focus at Goodhew Dance – it advances the technique of all dancers. We encourage students to find joy in dancing through lifelong friendships and do not focus on the competitiveness that the dance world can sometimes offer. Most of all, i love that everyone at Goodhew is part of a family that loves and supports each other.

I just want to say a massive “Thank you” to all of you for making Sunday Amazing! I’ve been involved as a student and a teacher and a mum in concerts and you guys nailed it! It was so professionally run and executed and the costumes were just awesome! The best part though was that Angel had a ball!

I just wanted to send you a big thank you for nurturing my girl’s love of dance, from a tiny tot, through testing teens to teaching and now Disneyland Paris. The Goodhew Dance Family has been a great foundation not only in dance but life confidence
