About
Formally known as the Werribee Dance Academy, the school was established in 1975 and is the longest running and most
established dance studio in the city of Wyndham. Miss Abbie took over the school from Miss Lynette Rizzoli in 2012. Miss
Lynette dedicated a lot of time towards UDS and has played a vital role in the success of the school.
Thousands of students have passed through our doors and many former students have forged professional dance careers or have
fulfilled their dreams of becoming qualified dance teachers and running their own dance schools.
The success of the school can be seen in the many years students attend classes and support the Studio, many for 15 years or more.
Universal Dance Studios offers structured weekly classes incorporating Jazz, Modern Funk/Hip-hop, Classical Ballet, Contemporary,
Broadway Jazz and Tapping as well as Stage Presentation and Theatrical Dance.
UDS offers a family friendly environment where students feel relaxed and comfortable in their own dance studio. Class fees are paid
on a weekly basis so that families are not disadvantaged if students are unable to attend classes due to sickness,
family/work/school commitments etc.
Students have the opportunity to participate in examinations with the Commonwealth Society of Teachers of Dancing
in all genres of dance and of course participate in the annual end of year show.
