Melinda is so passionate about the kids and the art of dance. The studio is top notch it’s such a clean welcoming environment. Dance has changed our daughters life for the better it has given her self confidence and strength she needed it has made her the kind of kid that loves herself and loves other and I thank Melinda and the dance teachers at YMM Dance Company every day for all they do for our kids we have danced for them for years and have never looked back here’s to many more years of dancing at YMM Dance Company.

We have been with this studio since it opened in 2018 and it has become a second home for my daughter. Not only has she continued to learn and improve as a dancer but has become part of an amazing dance family and found a place of true belonging. The teaching staff is absolutely top notch and I couldn’t ask for a better group to be leading my girl through her dance journey. Highly recommend YMM Dance Company!

YMM Dance Company is a very family friendly environment that makes everyone feel welcome. Miss Melinda and all the staff go above and beyond to make each student feel special. Just walking through the doors you can feel the warm embrace. My daughter feels very comfortable there, it truly is her second home! I can't say enough good about this place we all love so much!!

It‘s really unprofessional. They just want to charge you more money, not how to get the kids interested in dancing and learning better.

YMM dance company is an Exceptional inclusive atmosphere for all children and adults to irrevocably just be themselves.
Ms. Melinda and her team teach for the love of the art of dance. This shines brightly through all her dancers on stage no matter what venue, dance genre or age. Ms. Melinda’s passion is fuelled by watching her students succeed. Her choreography, timely productions and intimate music selection sums up how professional and talented she is. And the dancers genuine smiles as they perform, is a true testimony of confidence instilled from within. I applaud you Melinda. You are a beautiful person with a beautiful soul and most importantly, you are a dancer 💖

As opposed to those suspiciously leaving a 1-star review with no comments to justify, please see the justification for my 5-star review below.

I have witnessed the growth of YMM Dance Company since inception, and I am proud to write this review of Melinda and her team. As the company owner, Melinda introduces children to the ‘joy’ of dance as opposed to the competitive aspect only, and this philosophy is reflected in her teaching team. The school continues to provide an inclusive atmosphere for all children to enjoy dance, and through Melinda’s professionally trained expertise, those who wish to challenge themselves in competition will be confidently prepared.

The devotion and respect Melinda receives from her students is demonstrated in her entrepreneurial success. YMM Dance has won 3 Chamber of Commerce awards, and Melinda is the recipient of a Regional Aboriginal Recognition Award (RARA) for leadership. She is certified in Adapt Syllabus, Acrobatic Arts, Society of Classical Ballet, PB Ballet Technique, and Rhythm Works Integrative Dance.

Melinda taught my daughter from the age of ten, and her influence was so profound that my daughter now works at the school. For any dance parent who seeks professional training, while nurturing their child’s confidence as a dancer, I would strongly advise YMM Dance Company be your first consideration.

YMM dance company is incredible. It’s a happy, uplifting and positive atmosphere. My daughter has danced for the director for 8 years and I cannot think of one negative thing to say. She is a true role model. Highly recommend.
