Welcome to Coastal Dance – Currumbin’s home of dance since 1978.
Our Story
At Coastal Dance, we believe movement feeds the mind, body, and soul. For over four decades, our Currumbin dance studio has nurtured dancers of all ages — from tiny beginners taking their first plié to pre-professional students chasing their dreams.
We’ve built a vibrant and supportive community where every dancer feels inspired to learn, grow, and shine — whether you’re joining for fun, fitness, or a future on stage.
Our Legacy
Founded in 1978 by Kay Horsey, Coastal Dance Theatre quickly became known for its excellence in dance training. Mrs Horsey’s dedication and artistry shaped generations of dancers who went on to perform and teach across Australia and beyond.
In 2012, Kate Grazioli proudly stepped into the role of Principal, continuing the legacy of quality training while bringing fresh vision and opportunity to a new generation. In 2013, the studio was relaunched as Coastal Dance, preserving our rich history while evolving into a modern, inclusive and forward-thinking training hub.
Our Training
We believe in providing structured, professional dance education that balances discipline and creativity.
Our students are offered opportunities to undertake COMDANCE ballet and jazz exams, Royal Academy of Dance ballet exams, and Tapatak Oz tap exams — recognised pathways that build strong foundations and confidence.
Dedicated dancers are also invited to join our Eisteddfod teams, representing Coastal Dance across South East Queensland and the Northern Rivers. These experiences encourage teamwork, stagecraft, and a lifelong love of performing.
Our Community
Coastal Dance is more than a studio — it’s a community. Our teachers are passionate educators who invest in every student’s journey, helping them develop not only as dancers but as confident, resilient young people.
From our Mini Ballerinas to our advanced programs, we offer a nurturing environment where students feel valued, supported, and motivated to reach their potential. Parents often describe our studio as their “home away from home” — a place where excellence and encouragement go hand in hand.
