Rachel Adcroft of Ratbag Productions Dance is a fully qualified teacher with the Commonwealth Society of Teachers of Dance. She has over 20 years teaching and operating a successful dancing school. 

 

As Ratbag operate from the Tea Tree Gully Institute, 33 Walters St Tea Tree Gully we are able to reduce our over head costs which is passed on in our fees structure. There is no enrolment fee and costumes are kept to a minimum.

 

Over the years we have successfully competed in competitions and have won major awards.  We feel learning the correct technique of dance can still be accomplished in a fun and stress free environment  for both children & parents alike.

​

We encourage all new students wishing to enrol to come, watch and participate in the first lesson to see if this is the right school for your child.  If after the first lesson you find that Ratbag’s is not the school for your child, Rachel can direct you to a number of schools that will be more what you may be looking for.

 

Rachel is the Artistic Director/ Founder of CanDance for a Cure. A major concert held to help raise much needed funds for cancer research.

​

All profits go to the CanDance Australia Cancer Research Laboratory in the new RAH Medical and Sciences Building.
