Making dance dreams come true
and creating happy memories!
Grow through the art of dance
Welcome to Dance Pointe! We offer dance classes for children and adults in Brisbane. Established in 2000, Dance Pointe has been bringing the joy of dance for many years now. I’ve been the proud owner of the studio since 2012. My mission is to offer an encouraging, inspiring and safe environment where dancers can learn correct dance techniques to become confident performers. Whether it’s dancing just for fun, wanting to excel in dance examinations or having aspirations of a professional dance career, myself and our dedicated team are here to support and guide you.
Dance has been a big part of my life for well over 30 years now. I was swaying, swirling and jumping to music as soon as I could stand. Growing up in Finland, I studied Ballet, Jazz and Contemporary dance. After graduating as a professional dancer, I performed in musicals and dance productions, while also completing a year of teacher studies. I moved to London to study a Master’s Degree in Dance and underwent dance teacher studies with the International Dance Teachers Association. For a five-year period, I danced, choreographed and taught dance in London before moving to Australia in 2007. I’m so excited to share the joy of dance with you at Dance Pointe!
