Exciting News

Peninsula School of Dance Expands to Frankston!

We’re thrilled to share that Peninsula School of Dance is growing! From Term 2, 2025, we’ll proudly welcome the community of Caballero Classical Ballet into our dance family as we launch our second location: Peninsula School of Dance – Frankston Studio.

This expansion marks a beautiful new chapter that honours the incredible legacy built by Beth and her team at Caballero, while aligning with PSD’s vision of offering high-quality, inclusive, and transformative dance education to even more families across the Mornington Peninsula.

Our Rosebud studio remains the heart of our community—and nothing is changing for our existing families. The Frankston studio simply allows us to extend our programs, performance pathways, and culture of care to more young dancers in a neighbouring community.

We’re excited to grow, connect, and continue shaping confident, creative, and resilient individuals through the joy of dance.

Message from our Director

“As the Director of Peninsula School of Dance, I am deeply invested in nurturing a dance community that goes beyond producing exceptional dancers. Dance, for us, is a powerful tool that builds resilience, creativity, and empathy in our young people. I take pride in the nurturing culture at PSD, where every child, regardless of challenges or struggles, can find their ‘happy place’ in dance.

Our commitment to our core values, and creating an environment that empowers the next generation of dancers, performing artists and dance educators is a testament to our dedication to excellence, inclusivity, community, and leadership. Join us in this journey, where dance is not just a series of steps but a transformative experience that shapes confident, resilient, and creative individuals. Welcome to our dance family!”
