about us.

find your happy place.

At The Hills Dance Factory, we believe that dance is more than just movement — it’s about creativity, confidence, and community. Located in Dural, we provide a professional yet welcoming environment where students of all ages and skill levels can thrive. Whether you're a Tiny Tot taking your first steps or an experienced dancer honing your craft, we have a place for you.

Our classes cover a wide range of dance styles, led by fully qualified, passionate instructors, who ensure every student receives individual attention to help them grow, both as dancers and individuals.

Our purpose-built studios are equipped with sprung floors, full-size mirrors, barres, air conditioning, and professional sound systems. Beyond the studios, we offer a comfortable waiting room, a uniform shop, and a kitchenette for families. This dedicated space provides the ideal environment for students to learn and flourish, far beyond what’s possible in community halls.

We’re proud to offer students the chance to perform in our Annual Concert, as well as in Eisteddfods and community events throughout the year. Many of our dancers have gone on to achieve professional success, but we’re just as passionate about nurturing those who dance for fun, self-esteem, and personal growth.

At The Hills Dance Factory, we create a space where friendships are formed, confidence is built, and lifelong memories are made. We invite you to join us and become part of our dance family.
