“STMT. has been absolutely incredible for my 6 year old daughter.
The growth, confidence and joy she has gained this year has blown me away. The teachers are supportive, professional and genuinely care about every dancer. The training is high-quality, consistent and always delivered in such a positive environment.

We’ve had such a wonderful experience, from classes to competitions and I’m so grateful for everything Miss Karla and the entire STMT team do.

Highly recommend this studio to anyone looking for amazing training and a beautiful community."

2026: MOMENTUM
The energy that builds, evolves, and carries us forward.

This year has been an incredible evolution for STMT - a year where our dancers grew, our programs strengthened, and we truly found our identity as a studio. “Momentum” captures everything we’ve created together & everything we’re stepping into for 2026.

I’m so proud of our students for bringing this concept to life with only a few rehearsals and embracing the full production process alongside a professional film crew. Their focus, professionalism, and passion shine through every frame.

2026 registrations are now open through the link in our bio. With our intentionally small class sizes, spaces in our programs will move quickly. Secure your place early.

We’re also excited to announce the launch of our competitive groups in 2026 - quality over quantity, and built for dancers who are ready for refined, disciplined, high-level training.

A moment for our studio space. 🖤

Our boutique studio has been thoughtfully curated to create an environment our dancers can thrive in. Fresh essential oil blends, air conditioning throughout, the highest quality equipment, spotless studios, and the calm, focused energy that defines STMT.

We’re constantly reinvesting into our space and equipment to ensure only the highest standard for our dancers. This term, with new sprung flooring in our main studio. New Year renovations are already in planning!

It’s all part of our commitment to providing the highest quality experience for our dancers - a space that feels as refined, intentional, and inspiring as the training itself. ✨

Happy World Ballet Day! 🩰

A beautiful week celebrating ballet across all ages at STMT - from our Elite dancers refining their craft to our tiniest Petals finding their love for movement in ballet class on World Ballet Day itself.

Ballet sits at the heart of our training, shaping discipline, artistry, and strength in every dancer. We’re so lucky to have Miss Zali guiding our dancers this Term with her incredible knowledge & passion for classical technique.

A beautiful reminder of why we love what we do. ✨

The Wednesday Crew ✨

A full house of energy & focus today. From our MVMT dancers and Elite Petite & Junior to our Elite Teen students - plus a visit from our Flourish Extension kids. Between games of noughts and crosses, sleeking our buns before class, and some serious goal setting for 2026, it’s safe to say Wednesdays at STMT are always a good time.

Hard work, good energy. 🖤

Today our Full Time students stepped into their Mock Auditions - the culmination of four weeks of focused preparation and professional development with Miss Layla.

Each dancer prepared their resumes, headshots, and comp cards, refined across the floor combinations, performed self-choreographed pieces, and learnt & performed a heels combination.

They received personalised feedback from our faculty to strengthen their audition readiness and refine their presentation for future opportunities.

This marks an important step in preparing our dancers for the next stage of their training - with confidence, professionalism, and industry awareness guiding every step.

Today was a very special milestone for our dancers as they stepped into their Australian Institute of Classical Dance exams. For some, it was their very first exam experience, while others continued to build on years of dedicated training - each dancer showing poise, confidence, and pride in their work.

Behind the scenes, it’s never just about one day. It’s the countless hours of classes, rehearsals, and preparation that allow our students to feel calm, ready, and capablet. That dedication truly shone through, with exceptional results across all levels and a very high standard of work from every student.

We were also thrilled to celebrate outstanding achievements, with special medallions awarded to Tayla Tappin, Thea Van Maanen & Freya Coldwell for their top results.

The day ended with plenty of fun - congratulations gifts, smiles, and proud moments shared together. Most importantly, our dancers loved the experience and left feeling accomplished and inspired.

It was an honour to have Mr Mark Brinkley OAM examining our students, ensuring that the highest standards of the AICD were upheld. We are so proud of every dancer who made their statement today. ✨

Intentional training, great energy.
A snapshot of some of our dancers this afternoon working hard, staying present, and getting stronger with every session.

Behind the scenes of STMT x CINEFORCE

This weekend was about more than just filming, it was about capturing who we are as a studio.

From an early morning start to those final takes, our dancers brought their focus, attack, and energy to every moment.

We worked closely with the CINEFORCE team to create something that reflects the heart of STMT.

→ Intentional & high-performance dance and acrobatics training
→ Dancers who are prepared, professional, and driven
→ A positive studio culture where every student is known, supported & enouraged.

It’s always a privilege to watch our dancers step into the spotlight. We can’t wait to share what we’ve been creating with you soon!

We love our little Petals! 🌸

Our youngest dancers are learning, growing, and blooming each week through ballet and acro in a nurturing & intentional space.

Spots available on Wednesday mornings! Message us to book a free trial. 💌

We had such a great week away at Evolution Fraser Coast - amazing competition, incredible performances, and so many new routines hitting the stage for the first time.

Special congratulations to Freya & Tayla who received Highest Scoring Soloist in their age groups, to Hannah for stepping out with her very first solo, and to all of our soloists who continue to show up, improve, and push for more every time.

I’m so proud of the progress these dancers are making - it’s not just what happens on stage, but the commitment and work happening back in the studio that makes it all possible.

We also had a quick catch-up with our friends at @theleaguestudios, where Dan had the opportunity to learn a new solo. Thank you for having us!

Straight back into the studio and already excited for what’s ahead!
