Tania’s Strictly Dancing was first established in 1994 in Baulkham Hills before operating in multiple locations throughout the Hills District. In 2018 Tania's Strictly Dancing changed its name to The Stage Door Performing Arts to celebrate 25 years of successful operation. The school originally started out of Tania’s genuine desire to fulfil a lifelong ambition to give children an opportunity to experience the benefits and enjoyment performing arts had given her as a young student.
