Base181 has been amazing. The teachers are so good with the kids and the whole studio has such a fun and cool energy. My little one loves it!

Base181 Studios in Rouse Hill is a wonderful place to start your child's dance journey and build their confidence. It is a fun and inviting environment that is child centred. They focus on fun, building confidence and positive reinforcement. My son does not always enjoy "new" things, but after his first trial lesson he was eager to return and loves his lessons each week. The lessons are carefully planned and age appropriate using fun real life examples to help them remember the dance moves. Thank you to Base181, you really do go above and beyond. Less
My daughter really enjoys her class at Base181 studio. The dynamic and fun nature of the class fits perfectly with my daughters personality. The teachers are enthusiastic and full of energy. I highly recommend Bases181 to anyone looking for a fun and energy filled class.
Amazing studio. My kids love it here. The coaches are very friendly and interact well with the kids. I highly recommend this studio if you live in the Hills
Base 181 was exactly what we were looking for! It’s friendly and fun but they’re learning all the dance techniques. We look forward to each week!
The environment is welcoming and vibrant, with a positive energy that makes every session enjoyable. The coaches are exceptional—professional, supportive, and genuinely passionate about teaching. They’ve gone above and beyond to ensure my daughter thrives and enjoys every moment. I’m truly grateful for the wonderful experience and care she’s received. Highly recommend!
High energy classes with enthusiastic dance instructors.
Excellent dance school, great holiday program and the kids loved every min. They even asked me if they can go back every school holiday!
Incredible!!! From the beginning, I everything has been an easy to do from sign up to getting info from them.

The base studio and their team do an excellent job in not only teaching the kids dancing moves but also giving each individual such as my son Freddy to feel comfortable within the tribe and also the confidence to express himself. Highly recommended for any kids to try their diverse selection of classes and times.
Very good staff, instructors very helpful. Kids are enjoying the program. Would highly recommend 👍
My little boy really loves doing Break dancing at this school ! Such a fun place for kids to be and filled with professional dancers ! Love it !
My 5 year old thoroughly enjoys the Ninja and the Hip hop classes. Teachers are very energetic and good with moves. We can watch our kids on the CCTV from outside which is helpful for a parent to understand the routine and progress.
My 8 year old is loving the hip hop lessons and looking at exploring other dance forms as well.
My kids love Cooper’s Tricks & Flips class. they think it's really fun and enjoy it very much.
Base181 has been a fantastic experience for my son. He loves going to class and learning new techniques. They really foster a love for dance in a positive and inclusive environment.
Kid loves it, keen to go every time after school. Super nice teachers and engaged’ easy parking!!!!!!
My daughter started jazz a month ago and she is really enjoying!

Great classes and my daughter absolutely loves it. The teachers and and staff are absolutely magnificent 😁
Since my daughter started a few weeks ago, she has become more confident and comfortable to step out of her comfort zone. The team at Base 181 have been awesome, they have the kids safety and best interests at heart. I highly recommend Base181 dance studios, they let kids be kids and have fun.

My son absolutely loves his dance class! The dance school has a great vibe and creates a welcoming and inclusive environment. He's gained confidence, improved his skills, and enjoys the positive energy. Highly recommended!
Base 181 is fantastic. My son loves coming here. All the team is so nice and friendly, always encouraging kids.
Base 181 has been a game changer for our 4yo daughter who has anxiety issues, shes gone from a child who would cry in the car on the way to dance and refuse to do anything at all once there- to a child who asks how many days until dance class.. she still has her moments of being overwhelmed but the staff are very good at getting the kids to join in and have fun.

An amazing and fantastic dance class. Helped with my children’s dance skills and was an amazing experience!

Such a beautiful dance studio which brings kids out of their shells.

The base team are fantastic! My daughter has gone from strength to strength and always feels at home within the Base 181 community. I personally notice that kids & staff always have smiles on their faces and love it so much, my daughter has also attended school holidays camps which she loves too. Highly recommend!
What a great event! Thanks team, Suli had a blast!
Thank you Base181 studio for building my son confidence and teaching him something he loves. Thank you to Samson and the team for helping my son come out of his shell.
Amazing dance company, fantastic teachers, highly recommend.
Excellent dance school, do not regret sending my daughter here.
The best place for your kids if you like it to be about them having fun and gaining confidence. Showcases are also fun to be at!
We love base 181. Being part of a dance crew that inspires confidence, fun and community.
Such an incredible celebration of community!
Our son Branson has been apart of the Base family for 5 years now and the support he has recieved through every season has been incredible. Thank you for the vision and heart you have for your company it shines through in everything you do for all the kids xx
We LOVE Base181 - wonderful teachers, great vibe, my daughter looks forward to the classes each week. Miss Chloe is an absolute gem too, so great with the kiddies. My daughters confidence and social skills have also improved since joining!!
Wowed with the super teachers and awesome moves they teach!!
Base 181 has been an amazing and nurturing environment for our little ones! Samson, Chantal and the entire team are welcoming, passionate and create a safe, fun and most importantly inclusive environment for the children. We love being part of this community! Keep up the amazing work guys!!
Base181 is fun group of people, helping build confidence in kids while letting them have fun along the way in their dance journey. My kid loved his time here and had good fun. They are flexible and happy to accommodate.
What an inspiring, inclusive and all around fun studio for children. My children’s confidence has sky rocketed and they look forward to their sessions every week.
Our daughter has grown even more in confidence and loving dance even more since joining. We love the teachers and community too! We recently held her birthday party with the studio and the day was flawless. The studio took care of everything!
Community, Connection and Performance - all delivered with smiles and inclusion - passion and dedication. Every dancer a super-star in the eyes of their teachers and peers. The place to be for your best dance experience.
Our son was in the preschoolers class this term, and had great fun, growing phenomenally in confidence! Thank you!
The best!!! Super community based
So so awesome! My kid loves this placr
Very rare to get a dance school with super talented team and such love and care for children. This was my son's first year with them and he has thoroughly enjoyed and always looks forward to his class. Their mid year showcase was a big party :) where they let the kids be kids. Would highly recommend them !
Excellent show, great performance.
Show case was amazing with such a fun vibe all the children did an amazing !
Such a great studio and wonderful team. my kid goes to preschool class and he enjoys going to his class. the team is very supportive and encouraging. keep rocking you guys.

Thank you Base181 for creating a fantastic sense of community, confidence and connection!
The Base 181 Team have been absolutely amazing supporting and encouraging my daughter through her dance journey. Their professionalism and dedication to the students contributes to the great team dynamic.

We know there is massive benefits to children being involved with any sort of exercise, however Base 181 has so much more to offer. My son not only gained strength, coordination, fitness & agility. He also gained mental strength, self-esteem and confidence, he was encouraged to express his creativity & self-expression. Both Samson and Chantal are supportive, creative, caring role models.

Awesome vibe! Amazing dancers! Beautiful friendships!
The fabulous, safe, nurturing and loving environment Samson and Chantal have created is something that doesn't come with the average dance school. These guys are the absolute best! Our daughter has thrived so much since starting over a year ago. 3 classes a week and she wishes she could go daily!
Highly recommend this dance studio. Staff are very friendly with kids. My daughter enjoys it very much.
Absolutely love Base 181. Love the encouraging culture and atmosphere. Highly recommended!
What a great dance studio! All staff are very welcoming. My son is absolutely loving it.. Boom boom shake shake the room..
My daughter loves going to dance class every week. She is definitely more confident and out going since she started. She loves all her teachers and just enjoys every minute of it!
Such a great dance studio with a focus on building self confidence. It's a beautiful uplifting community. Highly recommend for boys and girls who love to move
Our Base journey started 18 months ago, with a child who loved music and loved dancing - but has pretty much no musicality! There is no place that feels more like home to her than Base and no place she would rather be for her birthday than Base 181. She has such a unique personality and sense of style and it can be challenging to fit into the more mainstream expectations, style and 'the way thing... More
Our Base journey started 18 months ago, with a child who loved music and loved dancing - but has pretty much no musicality! There is no place that feels more like home to her than Base and no place she would rather be for her birthday than Base 181. She has such a unique personality and sense of style and it can be challenging to fit into the more mainstream expectations, style and 'the way things are done'. Often with childrens sport and activities (not to mention school) the mantra seems to be conform, or find something else. It's very rare to find a place that not only celebrates the value of individual style and perspective, but truly values and embraces it. As a family, we truly believe that celebrating our differences is a way to a better, more empathetic world but it is so rare to find a place that embodies it so wholeheartedly and role models that to a new generation that are so eager to soak in new experiences. Chantal and Samson, you radiate joy and happiness that cascades throughout the studio. I have never met people with such genuine character and positivity and that clearly shapes every element of the Base 181 experience. Every single element of the studio makes each student feel individual, unique and above all, important and valued. The pillars of 'community, connection and confidence' are not just words but lived every day and having real impact on lives every single day. It is clearly cascaded through the staff. Every single time she attends a lesson, she comes back BEAMING and those values are quite clearly integrated in the program and imbued in those you choose to lead your classes and programs. There is quite literally no other program, in many, many years of childrens sport, where I've seen kids walk out feeling AWESOME at the end of every single lesson. You uplift their lives by your belief in them and by the environment you create where every child is amazing for something - even if it might not be recognised in a more mainstream environment. We didn't specify any requirements for C in choosing where her party was, but there was unequivocally no choice for her - it was ALWAYS going to be a Base party. And of course, this makes sense - how could you possibly go anywhere else when there is a place that just makes you feel SO good about yourself, and how could you miss the opportunity to share that with your closest friends?! There isn't a single child who attended the party that didn't comment that it was awesome or THE BEST! Cooper and Lily obviously deserve a special mention here. Equally from the perspective of parent-host it was THE BEST! I didn't quite know what to do with myself it was so well hosted and that's obviously also the best thing ever. How you all have energy for that many kids, for that period of time, escapes me but again I think it reflects the values of the studio and what you set from the top. You made it so easy and seamless and most of all, fun! There was not a detail left to chance and the organisation was phenomenal. The games and activities? Well, I think you need to look no further than the huge smiles on the kids faces! There's no words that can really express how grateful we are that the Base 181 experience is shaping our little people as they become bigger people. You're fun, you're effervescent and with unlimited energy, but we all acutely feel that bigger connection to purpose. If a tiny bit of the Base-vibe rubs off on each student and family the world is an immeasurably better place. And just in case it wasn't clear - there's no better party than a Base 181 party! Less
This is by far the best dance studio in the Hills! Not only are the teachers extremely talented, they are warm, kind and really care about the students. The classes are fun, energetic, inclusive and confidence building. My daughter loves being part of the Base community. Cant recommend highly enough :-)
Kids are very involved, build strong relationship with dance, and with friends.

This studio is not just a dance studio it’s a family! Professional teachers, outstanding value and always have the children’s best interest at heart. Base181 studios offers so many opportunities for their students and the teachers efforts are endless.
Can not recommend Base 181 enough. The environment they have created is so supporting and positive, they really do put students first. My son always comes out of his classes bouncing.

The team at Base181 are always so lovely and engaging. The kids love coming to class and have lots of fun too. If you're looking for a studio that leaves egos at the door, then this place is for you and your child.
We love being part of the Base family and community. Each teacher and mentor brings a different flavour and style which allows our kids to learn different techniques and embrace different skills in a fun safe positive environment. We just love watching them grow as dancers - both individually and together as a crew. That is why Base181 is much MORE than just a dance studio…
Really great for the kids' confidence and self esteem. The teachers/instructors have a genuine care for the kids. Best music as well!
We have been a part of the Base 181 family for almost 4 years. Everyone is friendly, supportive and committed. They have a great culture.

Base181 has proven to be a leader in the dance community! Through strong leadership and high calibre tuition our son has thrived and gained so much confidence in multiple disciplines. Super grateful to be part of Team Base!!!
Awesome and talented teachers. Love the variety in the classes. My kids are happy and energized after every class. The kindness and focus on the children’s growth and well being is incredible.
What a dream team! Base181 goes above and beyond! The quality they produce in not only the way they teach but also their communication, their professionalism, the family feel they create, is second to none. Chantal and Samson, your passion for dance is infectious.
Great Space and good Vibes!

Great vibe and inspirational teachers 👊
Just recently signed my son up and am extremely impressed. The owners and teachers are always friendly and are really engaged with all the kids, and the kids have so much fun. I have been to a few dance schools but this by the far the best, and I would definitely recommend to friends.
