On Thursday 5 March 2026, in the Grand Ballroom of Sydney’s International Convention Centre, Tamworth City Dance Academy Principal Kellie Singh was formally presented with her certificate as the Tamworth Electorate’s Local Woman of the Year, one of approximately 94 women recognised from electorates across the entire state of New South Wales. The NSW Local Women of the Year Honour Roll is an annual program that runs alongside the NSW Women of the Year Awards, celebrating outst

This International Women's Week, two of our senior TCDA dancers have been recognised for something that goes well beyond the studio walls. Halle Swan and Mia Gardner were among a select group of young women honoured at the Ngaar Wirribiiyan International Women's Day awards ceremony, held at Tamworth TAFE's Binalabaa Aboriginal Learning Centre. For those of us at TCDA who know these two remarkable young women, the news was both thrilling and entirely unsurprising. Ngaar Wirrib

There’s something quietly meaningful about a relationship built on trust and repetition. When the Sydney Dance Company arrived at 184 Peel Street on Friday 20 February, it marked the fourth occasion the company has chosen TCDA as their home base while in Tamworth , and that returning familiarity is something we don’t take lightly. A Professional Home Away From Home Touring life is demanding. Moving from town to town, adapting to unfamiliar spaces and surfaces night after nigh

What an absolutely phenomenal year we've shared together! As we reflect on everything our TCDA family accomplished in 2025, we're overwhelmed with gratitude and pride. To every dancer who showed up with commitment and heart, to every parent who supported the journey, and to our incredible teaching team who poured their passion into every class—thank you. This year reinforced why we say "dance is the vehicle, but life is the lesson." Through every performance, workshop, compet

"Home": A Journey of Heart, Growth, and Belonging When many of our students told us that TCDA meant "home" to them, we knew we had discovered something profound. That simple, powerful word became the heartbeat of our 2025 major production at the Tamworth Regional Entertainment Centre—a three-hour celebration of artistry, growth, and the connections that define us. On that unforgettable evening, over 1,000 people gathered to witness and participate in 28 dance items that explo

Term 2 at Tamworth City Dance Academy pulses with a distinctive energy. Our four troupes—Mini, Junior, Intermediate, and Senior—transform from individual dancers into collective forces, traveling across regional New South Wales to test themselves against the best competition the eisteddfod circuit offers. The 2025 competitive season brought triumphs, challenges, growth, and countless memories that will define this year for our 47 troupe members. The Pieces: A Season of Divers

Term 3 at Tamworth City Dance Academy carries a distinctive energy. The focus sharpens, the attention to detail intensifies, and our studios transform into spaces where technical precision meets personal growth. This is exam term—a period dedicated to preparing our students for formal assessment through the Australian Teachers of Dancing (ATOD) accredited syllabus. This year, TCDA students sat over 200 exams for ATOD examinations across Ballet, Tap, and Jazz, demonstrating mo

Growth at Tamworth City Dance Academy has never been just about numbers—it's about creating opportunities, investing in our students' futures, and building spaces where excellence can flourish.

On Saturday, September 13th, the Tamworth Regional Entertainment Centre transformed into a world of espionage, elegance, and extraordinary generosity as the 2025 Cancer Council NSW Stars of Tamworth Dance for Cancer celebrated its Casino Royale-themed gala. For Tamworth City Dance Academy, this marked a milestone that extends far beyond a single spectacular evening—it represents ten years of partnership, community commitment, and the remarkable achievement of helping raise ov

The first week of September always brings something special to the studios at Tamworth City Dance Academy—the sound of laughter, the sight of fathers attempting pirouettes, and the creation of memories that will last a lifetime. Our annual Dad's Week invited TCDA dance dads and male carers to step out of the audience and onto the dance floor, joining their sons and daughters in ballet class for an experience that was equal parts challenging, hilarious, and profoundly meaningf

While competition provides opportunities for dancers to test themselves individually, our Junior and Senior Mid Year Showcases offer something equally valuable—a chance for every student at TCDA to experience the joy of performance, regardless of their competitive aspirations. Over the weekend of June 28-29, alongside our competitions, we presented two spectacular showcases that honoured the progress, dedication, and artistry of our entire dance community. Two Showcases, One

The Tamworth Town Hall came alive with energy, artistry, and remarkable talent over the weekend of June 28-29 as Tamworth City Dance Academy hosted our 2025 Mid Year Competition and Championships.
