About Up Tempo Dance Studios
We are Megan & Kate. The Mother-Daughter combo Behind UpTempo Dance Studios!
Our journey started when I (Megan) first took Kate to dance class at the age of 4. Little did we know, that first step onto the dance floor would lead to an incredible adventure full of friendships, travel, confidence-boosting moments, and a TON of fun! Dance has given us so much, and now, we want to pass on that joy through our own studio UpTempo Dance Studios!
Kate’s been a obsessed with dancing from the start—she’s trained in every dance style imaginable, competed in gymnastics, represented Australia at the World Hip Hop Championships in the USA, AND even received the golden buzzer on Australia’s Got Talent! Her passion and talent for dance is irresistible, and she’s excited to share it with others.
I have never been a very good "Dance Mum" - I can't braid hair, I can't sew, I can't dance but I can have fun (and a few nervous moments) supporting Kate and all the dancers she has trained and performed with over the years. Between us we want to create a place that has something for everyone and all ages.
We have our Lil Groovers classes for our Pre-schoolers, Groovsters for our ages 6 - 8, our Junior program for ages 8 - 12 and our Senior Classes for those aged 12+. We offer classes in Hip Hop, Jazz, Contemporary and Acro with fabulous teachers!! We also hold beginner adult hip hop and dancefit classes where you will find me trying to learn to dance!!!
It’s about more than just dance moves here. We’re building a community where kindness, support, and a whole lot of cheering each other on are at the heart of everything we do. We want everyone to feel like they’re part of something special—and to leave the studio feeling uplifted and inspired!
So whether you’re here to groove or grow, laugh or learn, UpTempo is the place to be! So let us show you around our amazing studio and invite you in for a trial class.
Much Love Megan & Kate x x
