Shirley McDouall runs a top-notch dance school in Whanganui, New Zealand. With over 50 years in the game, she's trained countless dancers, some of whom have taken up careers in dancing and teaching.

Shirley's seen heaps of students walk through those doors, including kids, their parents, and even some grandparents. It's proof of the high-quality training and friendly vibe she's known for.

At her school, students dive into the Royal Academy of Dance (RAD) Ballet and the Imperial Society of Teachers of Dance (ISTD) Modern syllabus. Shirley also offers International Dance Teachers Association (IDTA) Medal and Ballet tests, making sure everyone gets a solid dance education.

A big event each year is the major production at the Royal Wanganui Opera House, where every student gets to shine. Plus, there are open studio days for parents to check out what their kids are learning from Shirley’s skilled team.

Shirley's mission? To help her students find their love for dance while sticking to a professional code. The school’s upbeat and caring environment helps young dancers build confidence and take on new challenges.

The studio, located upstairs at the St Johns Hill Shopping Centre on Great North Road, is fully kitted out with parking, natural light, a grand piano, a kitchenette, dressing rooms, toilets, a sound system, and a DVD player.
