Dance Jam's Story

Vashti Petty: Director and Manager

Welcome, valued customers, both new and returning, to Dance Jam. We're delighted you've chosen to engage with a locally-owned, Sunshine Coast enterprise. I'm Vashti, the friendly face you'll meet in our store, ready to provide expert dancewear advice, custom fittings and unparalleled customer service.

My roots are firmly planted here on the Sunshine Coast, alongside my supportive husband and our two vibrant children. The Sunshine Coast is a truly stunning place, and we're fortunate to call it home. Dance has been my lifelong passion, a joy I share generously with every dancer, educator and their families. When you visit our store, rest assured I draw from a deep well of dance experience, ensuring you receive top-tier service in dance supplies.

My dance journey began as a child, progressing through the Royal Academy of Dance syllabus, under the guidance of extraordinary mentors who shared my aspiration to study ballet at a professional level. With the unwavering support of my parents, I chased and realised my ambitions. At the Tanya Pearson Academy in Sydney, I honed my technique, resilience and artistic expression from the tender age of 15. Further studies at the New Zealand School of Dance expanded my horizons and opportunities.

Past Performer and Choreography Teacher

While overcoming an injury, my penchant for teaching dance took root. Over the years, I've taught at numerous schools, drawing inspiration from every student and forging lasting bonds with studio owners. My expansive choreography portfolio and the accomplishments of my students have rewarded me immeasurably, with their achievements becoming my proudest moments.

I have the insight to know which products offer both quality and value. I understand the expectations of teachers from basic classes, through the rigours of conditioning, examinations and performances. As a parent of aspiring dancers, I empathise with the challenges of ensuring their safety, managing growth and navigating emotional ups and downs.

At Dance Jam, you're not just purchasing dance essentials; you're expanding your dance support network with a seasoned professional who genuinely invests in your success. We eagerly await your next visit to our store!
