Performance That Builds Confidence, Creativity And Community At Performa Studios

Performa Studios is a family-focused performing arts studio in Mackay, offering dance and performance training for children and young people of all ages and abilities. We are proud to be the home of Lil Groovers in Mackay, where tiny feet make big moves. Designed for ages 2–4, Lil Groovers is an engaging preschool dance program that blends fun, learning and age-appropriate music.

Through engaging dance styles, little movers build confidence, coordination and creativity in a warm, playful environment that supports their development both on and off the dance floor.

What truly sets Performa apart is our belief that strong performers are shaped by strong support systems. We see performance as a shared journey, supported by a village that surrounds each child as they grow.

Child-centred personal development sits at the heart of our approach. Students learn to listen, apply constructive feedback, manage nerves, set goals, and work consistently over time. Growth is supported by experienced teachers, encouraging peers and families who understand that progress looks different for every child.

That sense of community is felt throughout studio life. Parents are welcomed as partners, communication is open and respectful, and progress is viewed individually rather than competitively or comparatively. Whether a student dances recreationally or trains for exams and competitions, they are known, supported, and encouraged within a community that values effort, care and connection.

At the Mackay Sports Expo, families can us, explore our programs and learn how performing arts can complement sport, wellbeing, and development. Expo-only enrolment opportunities will be available.

No prior experience is required, just a willingness to be part of the community.
