Fanci Footwork Dance & Cheer was established by Natasha Shandler in 2000. We began with the vision of creating a "family feel” studio that would provide a fun, nurturing and professional environment where our students could be encouraged to be the best that they could be and feel confident to shine.
We have grown steadily over the past 24 years and feel privileged to be a part of so many children’s lives in the lower mountains and Penrith areas. FFDC have classes available in Jazz, Tap, Ballet, Contemporary, Acrobatics, Boys tumbling and dance, Hip Hop, Competition Dance Troupes, Pom, Tumbling, All Star and semi-competitive Cheerleading and also offer a specialised adult fitness program that includes Barre Attack, Adult Ballet and strength & stretch class.
Our classes cater for the absolute beginner to advanced students covering students who see dance as a fun part of their weekly activities, to those who enjoy the buzz of cheer and dance competitions, and all the way through to students looking towards career opportunities.
As part of the Fanci Family you will experience a friendly, encouraging and professional environment where children, adults and families can connect and feel supported. Our dance, cheer and fitness classes are the perfect balance of technique and progression while not being too serious and always having an emphasis on creating wonderful memories.
We encourage team and individual creativity and growth and foster a positive and rewarding environment where all students are valued, seen and celebrated
Fanci families love that our dance and cheer classes are provided in a caring environment and routines are always age appropriate..... we think kids should be kids and celebrate every moment of the journey!
We are the studio with a heart that strives to make a difference!
