What our students & parents say

Create the Way is my daughter’s favourite extracurricular activity! Dani and her team make every child feel welcome. My daughter has grown so much in confidence, learnt new skills and made beautiful friendships. The mini productions are an absolute highlight! I couldn’t recommend it more highly!

Dani and her team are quite simply AMAZING! I love Dani’s enthusiasm and passion for growing confidence in kids, ensuring everyone is included and creating such a fun atmosphere. I love that through Create the Way, my kids are making new friends and growing new skills while having a great time. They absolutely LOVE the holiday programs, and the end-of-week performance is a real thrill for them – it’s quite amazing what Dani and her team can create with the kids in just one week. There is a very special and unique atmosphere at Create the Way – welcoming, warm and kind, mixed with fun and plenty of encouragement. We feel so lucky to have found Dani and her team!

We have never looked back since the first day my daughter started at Create The Way. I could see how much her confidence grew and how quickly she was developing not only skills for the stage, but also skills she will take with her throughout her life. Miss Dani is a passionate and enthusiastic teacher who really inspires and encourages her students, bringing out the best in them and really nurturing them through the process. She genuinely connects with all her students and recognises their individual differences, bringing out the best in them. My daughter has grown in confidence and is able to express herself in new ways. She is always looking to try new things on and off the stage. Through feeling challenged and supported, she has developed her skills and presence on stage, while also learning teamwork and connecting with her peers. My daughter is thriving and I am just so impressed with the qualities and traits that are developing from her participation in classes each week. I can’t recommend Miss Dani and Create The Way highly enough for anyone looking to build skills and qualities that will remain with them always.

My eldest daughter has been participating in Dani’s musical theatre holiday camps for 2 years and my youngest the last year. Our girls are now age 8 and 6. They have enjoyed learning lines, singing and dancing and delivering beautiful mini shows such as Annie, Mary Poppins, Lion King, Matilda and Aladdin at the camp conclusion. Dani offers something unique at her camps – an extremely warm and welcoming environment where kids feel absolutely comfortable to be themselves. Dani is a star in her own right (and very humble) and we are so grateful for her performance expertise. But more than that, Dani is passionate about Create the Way and building a community where children feel comfortable to try new things and build confidence on, and importantly off stage. Our girls come home from every one of Dani’s camps having made new friends, seen old friends and beaming with excitement and pride for themselves because of what they achieve with Dani. She makes kids feel good about themselves.

We’ve been part of Dani’s program since the April 2025 Wicked holiday workshop and have attended almost every holiday workshop since. Both our girls (now 7 and 9) have absolutely loved being part of it, and it’s been incredible watching their confidence, skills and abilities grow from one workshop to the next. Our girls are incredibly lucky to have Dani in their orbit. Her passion, talent and ability to bring out the best in children is incredible! She also goes above and beyond in supporting us as parents, sharing her knowledge of the Australian performing arts world and offering advice on the girls’ individual strengths, areas to develop, and teachers and studios she thinks would be a good fit for them. Our youngest also attends Dani’s Monday classes during the term, which are literally the highlight of her week! The end-of-term performances are always SO impressive. We are continually blown away by the standard of the productions and what the children manage to achieve in such a short space of time. What makes Dani’s program unique is the variety… The children aren’t just learning choreography- they’re developing skills across acting, singing, dancing and even producing. The holiday workshops and weekday classes complement each other beautifully, and there’s always something new to learn. Dani has also hosted birthday parties for both our girls – a Legally Blonde party for our eldest and a Sound of Music party for our youngest. Both were their favourite parties yet, and everyone had the time of their lives putting on performances for their very proud parents! The assistants Dani brings into the program are another huge asset, and our girls always adore them.

Create The Way is a very fun programme. Along the journey you make a bunch of friends and have so much fun learning drama skills, playing games and doing arts and crafts together. The drama class improved my confidence a lot, especially in front of a big crowd. At the end of the week of the holiday programme, you get to perform in the hall in front of your family and friends and you stage the show, which is really fun. If you sign up to Create The Way, you will have so much fun and you will want to do it all the time because it will be something that you will always remember. Miss Dani is very nice and caring and really loves to teach all her students. She makes me feel happy because she is always encouraging me to push beyond my boundaries and be brave. I love it so much that I begged my mum to do Monday and Wednesday classes and I also do the holiday programmes. So I think you should definitely come and do Create The Way so you can become confident and love creativity and acting as much as I do each week. Thank you, Miss Dani, for being such an amazing and inspiring teacher.
