Redefining how students learn
turning passion into performance
Established in 1993, Hong Kongβs premier dance school teaches Freestyle, Ballet, Hip Hop, Acro and Tap dance classes at over 13 venues in Hong Kong, Kowloon and Lantau. We currently teach over 1,000 students from the age of 18 months to adult pre-professional dancers. Our team consists of a diverse, creative and talented group of instructors who provide a high standard of dance training that prepare our students for a career in dance and performing arts.
A high percentage of our students take part in annual dance examinations in Freestyle and Hip Hop with the Imperial Society of Teachers of Dance (I.S.T.D.) exam board. Our Ballet students prepare for the Royal Academy of Dance (R.A.D.) exams and have the opportunity to participate in class awards. Our dancers consistently receive high accolades in all dance styles due to their discipline, technique and performance quality.
Throughout the year, our dancers are invited to perform at well-known local events including the Chinese New Year Parade and Arts in the Park. Our students also have many opportunities to perform at various community events and music/dance festivals across Hong Kong. Every year we hold our exciting End of Year Show for our parents, family, friends and the local community.

After trying a couple of other dance schools my girls started to lose their love for dance. Since we have found Island Dance they are loving dancing again.
