Discover the Joy of Dance at Sylvan Dance Academy

Our Story

Established in 1976 by Pamela Fisher, Sylvan Dance Academy has been a beloved part of the Kareela community for generations. Over the years, we've proudly nurtured countless dancers who have gone on to shine as performers, teachers, and champions both across Australia and internationally.

Our Philosophy

At Sylvan, we believe dance should be an uplifting experience for every child. Whether your child wants to dance just for fun, make new friends, or pursue performance and competition, we welcome students of all ages and abilities. Our goal is to inspire a lifelong love of dance in a supportive and encouraging environment.

Meet Our Principal

In 2023, Kate Wilson—once a bright-eyed Sylvan student herself—stepped into the role of Principal. Having joined the studio at just 4 years old and teaching under Pam's guidance by 16, Kate brings decades of passion and experience to the role. With a Bachelor of Secondary Education from UNSW and a strong background in choreography (including numerous award-winning routines), Kate is dedicated to helping every student grow and shine. She leads a team of talented teachers, many of whom also began their dance journeys right here at Sylvan.
