Donna and her team of amazing professional dance teachers provide exceptional tuition but above all they truly care for and nurture my child and provide a safe, supportive enjoyable environment for her and her classmates where they learn, they have fun and they are always super excited to come along to dance. I cannot recommend Betty Bentley enough and I am forever grateful that we came across it all those years ago.

This was Scarlett's first year of dance and she has absolutely loved coming ever week, Mondays have been the highlight of her week all year & she speaks so highly of her teachers. She has been looking forward to the concert for a long time and after rehearsals on Monday the excitement continued to build.

Emma Lupino
Donna, just wanted to let you know how grateful we are for you and your commitment to the holistic development of young dancers.
Your student teachers are set an excellent example of personalisation and attention to detail.
They, like you, make an effort to get to know every child in the class and ensure that each child is given an opportunity for success in the class (class sizes also help ensure that everyone is given the necessary attention for improvement to take place)
Near enough is not good enough but this is delivered in a caring way and it shows at your end of year performance the standard or work was so very high even in the younger years. Your no nonsense attitude quickly stamps out the opportunity for bullying and creates a beautiful atmosphere where students are focussed on bettering themselves and are quick to recognise and congratulate others on their achievements.
I love that you expect everyone to work hard and that your students learn that it is only through hard work and dedication that great things happen!!
You are kind to parents!! By this I mean your exemplary organisation and finishing on time means that my life is easy regardless of how many classes Ana takes :)
Your show has a beautiful pace and no unnecessary fluff!! It is a beautifully entertaining and flawless show that truly demonstrates the hard work of teachers and students.
Five years ago when we were moving Ana from a dance school in Rivervale to Rockingham I was given two recommendation . I am so very very please that you were the first to reply to my answering machine message!! You are one amazing lady and we are so lucky to have such beautiful role model in Eliana's life :)
Maddie Hoes
Not once, since the day I started dancing at the age of four, have I ever considered leaving Betty Bentley Dance Academy for another dance studio.
It is an absolutely fantastic dance school with a beautiful, warm atmosphere that makes you feel like you are a part of a huge family.
The teachers are so kind and friendly and they genuinely care about their students. They are absolutely dedicated to bringing out the best in every dancer and I honestly can’t speak more highly of them!The exam work during the year is fantastic for developing the skills and techniques that are needed to grow as a dancer but it is the end-of-year concert that is the true highlight. Students, teachers and parents alike all enjoy it immensely; it is so much fun and something the whole school looks forward to every year!I would highly recommend Betty Bentley Dance Academy to anyone who is interested.
If I could give it six out of five stars, I would.
Grace Hoes
I would definitely recommend Betty Bentley Dance Academy to every aspiring dancer. Having been at the dance school for 10 years, I feel like part of the family. The dance school has a wonderful atmosphere and all the teachers are absolutely beautiful and very talented. Their dedication and love of every student is incredible and they work so hard to make sure that every young dancer reaches their potential.The look of joy on all the dancers’ faces during the end-of-year concert says it all.
Betty Bentley is a great dance school without all the pressure of competitions, rather, it focuses on the enjoyment and love of dance.
Dancing at Betty Bentley Dance Academy is amazing and I wouldn’t ever want to go anywhere else.
Sammy Griffiths
I have danced at Betty Bentley Dance Academy for 20 years. I have never thought, not for even a second, of leaving. The teachers are amazing and go above and beyond what is asked of them. When it comes to their students, no task is too hard or too great. The teachers never give up and strive to help in anyway they can.
The studio feels like a family, where everyone helps out and pitches in where they are needed. During the year I am at the studio almost everyday of the week. The studio is my second home and I love it there. It is a fun and enthusiastic atmosphere all year round.
The annual concert is a major highlight for all students and teachers, where we show case to all our friends and family the hard work and dedication for the past year. I highly recommend Betty Bentley Dance Academy to all who wish to start dancing or wish to come back and revitalise their love for dance.
Katrina Mohsenin
We have had our eldest at Betty Bentley for 6 years now and 3 years for our youngest - we absolutely love the teaching staff and atmosphere that the dance studio has - it's not just a place for the kids to do dancing, it's a place for the mums and dads to meet and make lifelong friends and the amazing concerts at the end of the year are just the icing on the cake to see their smiling faces and the progress they have made.
You won't be disappointed with Betty Bentley Dance Academy it truly is an inspiring place for your children to grow as dancers!
