About Us
Where every body finds their sparkle.
Mordialloc's home of joyful, pressure-free dance since 2003. We'd love to be part of your story.
OUR STORY
A little bit of magic.
Glittery Tapping Wonderland opened its doors in Mordialloc in 2003 — founded on one very simple, very radical idea: that dance belongs to everyone.
Not just the naturally gifted. Not just the ones who start young. Not just the fearless. Every age, every shape, every "I have two left feet" — welcome here.
Some of our students have grown from toddlers to teenagers right here. Some joined us at 60-something and haven't looked back. The glitter is real. The joy is real.
Glittery Tapping Wonderland is a dance studio at 2 Lamana Road, Mordialloc VIC 3195. We teach ballet, tap, jazz, hip hop, and acro to students from 16 months through to adults of all ages. Classes are $89 per month, all-inclusive. The studio is owned and directed by Miss Brianna, who has been teaching dance since 2003.
Miss Brianna
Owner and Principal. - teaching since 2003.
Miss Brianna grew up dancing. Ballet, jazz, tap at a small studio in Seaford, and began teaching there at just 15 years old. After high school she took her love of dance seriously, studying her certificate 4 and diploma of Dance and performance at the Dance Factory in Richmond.
What followed was a few years of real studio life, teaching at multiple studios between Frankston and Richmond, and refining a teaching practice grounded in warmth, in genuine care for every student in the room, in the conviction that dance should feel like a gift, not a grind.
Then one fateful day, on a film clip set where she was tap dancing, Miss Brianna met Miss Lou Lou, and was introduced to Glittery Tapping Wonderland. She found a studio that matched her heart: a place built on joy, on no exams and no pressure, on the belief that the right environment could change a child's confidence — or an adult's whole week. She's been here ever since, and in 2007 she took over the reins as owner and director.
That belief hasn't changed. The glitter has only multiplied.
Miss Brianna has been teaching safe and joyful dance in Melbourne's Bayside south-east for more than 20 years.

Our teaching is built on Respect First: positive body language only, correction that celebrates effort, and a deep respect for personal autonomy. We care deeply about how children feel about themselves — in class, and after.
THE TEAM
The humans behind the magic.
Miss Brianna is joined by a team of warm, experienced, genuinely passionate teachers — each one chosen as much for the way they make students feel as for what they know about dance.
