Why choose Tarinao?
Each dancer's developmental needs are our number one priority.
We value an inclusive learning environment co-created by both teachers and students where creativity and appreciation of the art form are celebrated.
We do that by benchmarking dancers' progress through assessment material devised by teachers specifically for each batch of class, not a pre-set syllabus.
