“Dance Theatre of Orange is an amazing and inclusive school. I’ve returned to ballet after a 30 year break and to find such incredible RAD teachers in regional NSW, who are willing not only to teach children, but also adults who have never lost their love of ballet is such a gift.

Nurturing individuals in a non judgemental, non competitive environment where anyone who loves to dance is welcomed and valued. Highly recommended.”
