History and Background
Founded in 2002 by seasoned performer, choreographer, and educator Jason Kuhne, All About Dance Company was born out of a vision to create a dance school where rigorous, professional-level training coexisted with a nurturing, positive environment. Having trained extensively in classical and theatrical disciplines and performed in prominent musical theatre productions across Australia, Jason wanted to eliminate the old-fashioned, intimidating teaching styles of the past in favor of positive reinforcement and inspiration.
Over its 24-year history, AADC has grown from a humble local studio into a thriving hub for the performing arts. The academyβs custom-built premises feature specialized sprung flooring, wall-to-wall mirrors, professional sound systems, and unique viewing windows that allow parents to actively follow their child's dance journey. Supported by an expert facultyβincluding veteran teachers like Tina Sikalevski and specialist hip-hop instructorsβAADC continues to shape the future of Western Australian dance.
