About Us

We’re Shikara, Ticia, and Zahli Chandler — the sisters behind Sorelle Dance Studios. Inspired by the Italian word “sorelle,” meaning sisters, our name reflects not only our family connection, but also our collaborative and child- centred approach to teaching.

Together, we bring a wealth of experience across dance and early childhood education, forming a dedicated team committed to delivering high-quality, developmentally appropriate dance programs. Our classes are designed to nurture each child’s creativity, ignite their passion for movement, and support the development of foundational technique — all within a warm and welcoming environment.

Thank you for considering Sorelle Dance Studios for your child’s dance education. We look forward to supporting their learning journey through purposeful, engaging, and inspiring experiences.

RECREATIONAL DANCE

Studio Reviews

My three year old daughter has been attending Sorelle Dance Studios since the beginning of the year, and she is absolutely in love with these ballet classes. Miss Kara and Miss Zahli are both wonderful, engaging teachers, who really care about all of the students involved. They are both so encouraging and enthusiastic and it’s clear they love sharing their knowledge with their students. They are great at teaching the technical work with them, in a way of keeping it fun and engaging. I love the use of props that allows young children to learn ballet in a fun, interactive way. It is the perfect dance studio for all ages and dance abilities. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Sorelle Dance Studios to other families. They are excellent teachers, fun and engaging, patient and kind. Most importantly, the children enjoy themselves which is evidence of the high quality of services.

My 3.5-year-old daughter has been attending Sorelle's Ballet dance classes for the last two terms, and she absolutely loves it. Every weekend, she looks forward to class, counting down the minutes, and we even play the class playlist at home because she enjoys it so much!
It’s been wonderful to watch her grow in confidence and coordination, and I’m thrilled that she’s building a foundation in dance—something I’m personally passionate about. Seeing her so happy in your classes is really heart-warming.
Thank you for creating such a positive and encouraging space. We’re so glad to be part of this community.

Sorelle dance studios has been perfect for my boys (4 & 6yo). It's the right combination of fun, flexible, warm, inviting, and low pressure but also with the right degree of expectations. I can highly recommend this studio, you won't be disappointed. Get amongst it!

I wanted to express my heartfelt thanks to your team for offering the weekly dance lessons with Sorelle Dance Studios as part of the OSHC program. As a family with both parents working full-time, four children, and numerous commitments, we have very limited time, and without this opportunity being offered at OSHC, our daughter Eliza would never have been able to access such an experience.
Participation in the dance class has truly been the highlight of her week. We’ve been amazed at her growth in confidence throughout the term—it has just blown us away. The end-of-year performance was a huge credit to the incredible dance instructors, the talented students, and your OSHC team for facilitating such a fantastic opportunity.
We are so grateful for the positive impact this program has had on our daughter, and we fully support the continuation of this program and similar initiatives that contribute to the growth, development, and confidence of the children in your care.
Thank you again for everything you do.
