Empire studios is such a warm, inviting and inclusive space. I enjoyed finding myself again and rekindling my love for dance while on maternity leave. Claire and her staff are so motivating and down to earth. The whole vibe of the studio matches the ethos that Claire has cultivated - one of empowerment through dance. I can’t wait to return to dance very soon and I couldn’t recommend enough giving any of the classes a go to become inducted into the Empire Studios community.

We have been hiring Empire studios since 2018/2019 and it has been nothing but a blast. We hire for Dance Classes, Intensives and also Showcase’s. Claire and the team at Empire are always accomodating to our requests for studio time, fast communicators and of course FRIENDLY ⭐️ No matter how much time goes by, we can always count on Empire to host us well. It has been like a second home for us! Couldn’t recommend more!

Our 2 daughters (now 8 & 10) joined Empire after attending a school holiday program with friends. We absolutely LOVE the studio and have recommended it to so many others. We particularly love the inclusive environment where students are empowered and supported to step out of their comfort zone and try new things and be their best selves. No body issues, hair styles or special uniforms required - just honest fun and friendship. My eldest has joined a competition team this year which has been a step up from the community classes in terms of commitment and skill level but she has been gently nudged and comes home every week wanting to practice and test her body and learn new tricks. She is so proud of herself every time she nails it. Thanks to Claire and Jaymie for the wonderful community they’ve developed and nurture. We love being part of it!

I have been hiring the dance studio at Empire for the past 7 years, and my experience has been nothing short of exceptional. Claire and her team are truly amazing to work with—professional, friendly, and always accommodating. The studio itself offers a fantastic space with a great vibe, making it the perfect environment for teaching and practicing . Claire's passion, patience, and inspiring nature shine through in everything she does. I genuinely enjoy my days teaching my samba classes at Empire, and I highly recommend this studio to anyone looking for a welcoming and vibrant dance space. Thank you, Claire and team, for your continued support and dedication!

I can gladly say that joining Empire Studios has been one of the best decisions I have ever made! The confidence, enjoyment, experience and friends I have gained there are immeasurable. I am proud to be a member of the family that has been created in this special space and can't thank Claire and all of the incredible team there, enough! If you want somewhere safe to express yourself and feel fully supported and loved as you do, I recommend coming along to a class and seeing it all for yourself!

Taking classes at Empire is SO much fun!! After not having taken a dance class, let alone performed on a stage for a number of years, stepping into a dance studio was nerve racking, but Claire and the team welcomed me with open arms. Empire is such a supportive community, a no judgement zone, a space where I feel confident, I can be myself, and have HEAPS of fun. This made my transition back into dance (and learning an entire new dance style!) as seamless as possible. The vibrant atmosphere at Empire has reignited my passion and love for dancing and performing. Claire (teacher/owner) absolutely radiates positivity and lights up the studio. Her energy and passion is inspiring. Not to mention her thoughtfulness - she is amazing at catering to my working adult schedule, providing catch up classes when needed. I can’t thank Claire and the team enough for their support, and for providing me with a space in which I thrive.

Empire is THE PLACE to be. Whether you are a teacher, student, or hirer, the energy in the building is unmatched. There are studios to fit all types of work and development and you can honesty feel the community spirit through the facility. Claire, the owner/manager, really leads by example and is emphatic about conjuring a creative and professional environment. Teaching class there is ALWAYS rewarding. Equally, taking class there is rarely short of magical. Empire studios is default and desired studio space for cultivating art and community.
