Fanci Footwork Dance and Cheer

Fanci Footwork Dance & Cheer was established by Natasha Shandler in 2000. We began with the vision of creating a "family feel" dance studio that would provide fun, low cost and professional dance classes to children and adults in the lower mountains area. We have grown steadily over the past 18 years and feel privileged to be a part of so many children’s lives in the Penrith and lower mountains areas.

We have classes available in Jazz, Tap, Ballet, Contemporary, Boys only Hip Hop Crews, Hip Hop, Competition Dance Troupes, tumbling, All Star and Recreational Cheerleading and also offer a specialised adult fitness program that includes Barre Attack, Adult Tap Fitness, Adult Ballet, Stretch class and Intensity classes.

Our classes cater for the absolute beginner to the more advanced student We understand that for the majority of our students dance is a fun part of their weekly activities but also cater for those who are more serious about their dance and cheer and are looking towards career opportunities.

“All-Star, competitive Cheerleading is what most people recognize as "Bring it on /ESPN cheerleading". It is a fast paced, dynamic sport that encompasses stunt, tumbling, tosses and dance & requires dedication and a strong work ethic from the male and female athletes that participate. It is as physically demanding as any other mainstream sport and is one of the fastest growing team based athletic sports in the USA.” – Rosemary Sims (AASCF Program Director)

FFDC first established cheer in 2012 and we currently participate in the Australian All Star Cheerleading Federation (AASCF) Championship Series – an organisation for all-star cheerleading coaches and athletes around the country dedicated to the promotion and advancement of cheerleading as a respected athletic discipline and sport.

Aside from the large range of dance and adult fitness classes at FFDC we also offer a range of cheer and tumbling/conditioning classes to suit the needs of every individual. Athletes wishing to participate in our cheerleading program can enjoy classes from ages 4 and above that facilitate teamwork, dedication, commitment and self-confidence. Students who partake in our FFD Cheer Program have benefited from an increase sense of trust in their teammates, encouragement for one another and above all, a passion for such a fast growing team building sport.

Our families are very happy that our dance and cheer classes are provided in a caring environment and routines are always age appropriate….. we think kids should be kids! We are very fair and believe dance should be for all children and adults to experience. For this reason we offer a very affordable approach to lessons, examinations and performances. Our classes are fun, friendly, affordable and every student gets to be a star!

Come join in the fun at FANCI FOOTWORK DANCE & CHEER!
