Sans Souci Dance

About Us

Miss Jenny has been dancing and teaching dance all her life. The Studio began when she renovated an unused office. It became her own professional space to continue working and soon after, had a dream that the studio might continue in to what it has become today – a boutique dance studio. A dream come true! The studio has evolved and become a recognised and well received space for excellent quality dance training in Sydney’s South. The studio is a bright, clean white space for all to enjoy and experience dance and the sense of freedom it creates. The studio is your local caring and quality dance training place which has highly qualified and expert teachers catering for all ages. Preschoolers learn to explore movement in their own ways. Older students are trained with great care and adults begin to dance or rekindle their love of movement and music while at the same time gaining fitness. Sans Souci Dance Studio caters for all ages through quality and holistic teaching. You and your family are invited to enquire anytime and discuss how we could help you or your young dancer begin a dance journey.
