Annette Roselli Dance Academy is based at Moreton Bay College, Manly West and Wynnum and follows the Royal Academy of Dance syllabus.
Annette trained at the Royal Ballet School, London and danced professionally overseas for more than 10 years.
The studio offers classical ballet from 3 years to advanced, jazz, tap, musical theatre, hip hop, pilates and adult classes in ballet, jazz, tap and pilates.
The main aim of the school is to develop each child to their personal best and to do so in an enjoyable way. We realise that not every child is going to be a dancer, but every child can dance and will benefit greatly by doing so.
All classes are run on a regular basis with students divided into their classes according to age, category and standard. This enables each student to progress at a consistent rate, specifically designed for them.
Not only are the classes fun to be part of, but they also help develop co-ordination, fitness, a sense of rhythm, musicality and expression, as well as promote self-discipline, boost confidence and improve posture.
As each student has individual goals, the studio is structured so that they may become as involved as they wish.
We cater for those who wish to dance for fun and also for those who would like to pursue a career in the theatre.

IT’S never too late, even to take up ballet.
This is the message from dance teacher Annette Roselli who runs classes in ballet, tap and jazz at her academy for adults from 18 years to any age and from beginners to ex-professional.
"It is never too late to learn the artistry and technique of ballet, tap and jazz and gain the benefits of learning to dance," Ms Roselli said.
