"The REDed program is such an engaging program. I watch the kids, they are all smiling and happy - all participating at the same time. I don’t see any child want to sit down, they are thoroughly engaged."
Richard LaceyHead of Sports at St Pius X College
“The quality of the dance, choreography and instruction has been excellent. The whole P.E. Department has been blown away by the quality of the work the boys have been able to produce as a result of the REDed sessions.”
Nikki ChapmanParent at Kincoppal-Rose Bay
“Your organisation, communication and execution of your classes with the highest quality of teachers and standards is outstanding. Thank you for not only making dance fun for the students, but for making it easy on the parents.”
Grace LazzeriParent at Lindfield Public School
"Thank you for exposing the dancers to these different performances and opportunities. They are not only learning about dancing here, they are gaining self confidence, they are learning how to work as part of a team and they are learning to respect and love their bodies more."
Jane LavisParent at Queenwood School for Girls (Senior)
“The level of teaching, especially with your focus on technique, shines through when you see the girls perform. They are very lucky to have someone who not only has a gift for incredible choreography, but also explains to the girls the inspiration and the history/story behind each dance.”
Stephanie McConnellPrincipal at Lindfield Learning Village
"It is so great to work with a company who cares so much for young people and is so aligned with our school's vision."
Dan SlaterClass Teacher at Wheelers Hill Primary School
“I’m fine with ‘movement’ activity but fully choreographed dances require REDed."
Amanda TasovskiAssistant Principal at Gordon West Public School
“The kids loved the dance and I loved doing it with them. I love teaching dance but it was a nice break to not have to think about choreography. I will definitely be purchasing more.”

REDed Rockstar Jess moved and grooved with the students as puppies and dinosaurs, exploring shapes and levels, and playing our signature creative improvisation game which of course was a HUGE hit.

Special thank you to Redlands for inviting us in to play. ✨ ...

Celebrating 25 years of incredible vision to grow a dance education company that is one of the most respected and sought after in the industry.

We could share so much from these 25 years but for today we are choosing to spotlight our founder, Dale Pope in this pic from the early days (2001). She is about to deliver the St Ives Preparatory Dance Night Disco to 350 boys, as their finale to their 4 week REDed curriculum dance contract. Fresh faced, mid twenties and shining the light REDed is known for. 🌟

At the beginning of Term 2 we launched our Year 10 Curricular Program at MLC School @mlcschoolnsw. The students were taught a REDed routine in the focus style of Hip-Hop.

They then used this as inspiration to further create, explore, and choreograph their own routines using the Elements of Dance.

This resulted in the creation of highly successful student compositions, in line with the NSW Syllabus.👏🏼 ✅
