ABOUT US

Founded almost two decades ago by Clare Michelsen, a dedicated dance educator with over 30 years of teaching experience, CM Dance was built with a vision of providing a holistic approach to dance education. Starting with Irish dance, our school has grown to include a variety of styles, with two studios in Coorparoo and Camp Hill. Our mission goes beyond teaching steps—we aim to nurture your child’s creativity, individuality, and self-expression in a safe, supportive environment.

Our Philosophy

At CM Dance, we believe in more than just teaching dance—we're committed to nurturing the whole child. Whether it’s encouraging self-expression or developing talent, we celebrate every achievement, from our Little Dancers to those competing internationally. Our environment is one where every student feels empowered and free to explore their passion.

Our Values

When you join CM Dance, you become part of a community that values inclusivity, encouragement, and growth. We work closely with our students, families, and the broader dance community to ensure that every child feels supported and inspired.
