ABOUT

DNE PRINCIPAL:
Jessica Young

Jess has had a passion for dance ever since her first dance class at the age of 2. Throughout her dance journey a career in teaching was always a clear and consistent goal. 

After completing her HSC Dance, Jess progressed into studying a double degree in which she completed her Bachelor of Dance & Graduate Diploma in Secondary Education.

 

Beginning her teaching career over 12 years ago, Jess has a wealth of knowledge and experience in the dance industry. Throughout this time Jess has won multiple reputable awards for her choreography. Jess started teaching at Dance Network Engadine in 2014, where she quickly found the studio her home away from home. In 2019, Jess became principal, marking the beginning of a new chapter for DNE STUDIOS.

​

Jess has thrived throughout her role as principal, constantly developing and providing her students with endless opportunities to pursue their passion for dance. She thrives off seeing her students have fun, grow and achieve their goals together. Jess takes pride in nurturing a safe, family-orientated space where all students are supported.

OUR MISSION

At DNE Studios, we’re more than just a dance studio, we’re a family. With a proud history in the Engadine community, we have spent years creating a space where students not only grow as dancers, but also as confident, kind, and resilient individuals.

 

Our studio is a safe and uplifting environment where every student is encouraged to flourish. Whether it’s mastering a new step, building lifelong friendships, gaining confidence or simply having fun, we believe in nurturing the whole person, not just the dancer.

 

We place the highest value on respect, teamwork, kindness, and fun. These are the cornerstones of everything we do. From the tiniest beginners to seasoned performers, every dancer at DNE is supported and inspired to dream big, set goals, and achieve their personal best.

 

Join us at DNE Studios, where we celebrate individuality, foster community, and dance through life together!
