How it Works

Happily married to Adam for 25 years and mother of 3 beautiful children, Bradley, Jarryd & Chloe, I have been in the travel industry for over 27 years.

I have many travel awards for sales and service as well as customer service awards. My passion is to help plan and book my clients dream holidays.

Two years ago, I was asked to assist a work colleague with arranging a dance group tour to the USA as she was located in a different state. The experience was amazing, and the joy and friendships I gained from planning this tour and travelling with the group was everything I could have imagined and more.

I took over the management and escorted the groups from my colleague who left the industry. The positive and great feedback that I received enabled me to start my own niche dance travel business.

I operate Centre Stage Dance Studios alongside my already successful leisure travel business to help arrange and escort more dance schools to achieve their goals and to see dancers and their families live their dream!

I am aware that there are other big companies who organise dance tours but there is room in this industry for us all. I would like to ensure you that I do my very best to offer you a personal group travel experience. I am there from the start to finish and I personally escort your tour guaranteeing a stress-free experience for dance school owners and their participating families.

No group is too big or too small. I can offer you some of our pre-packaged tour options we have available or we can discuss and plan you own group tour. I will be with you to help and guide you and your families every step of the way!

There are always benefits for the dance school and the dance families participating.

I am pleased to offer group dance packages to dance schools who perform the following dance styles:

  • Jazz
  • Ballet
  • Hip Hop
  • Tap
  • Lyrical
  • Contemporary
  • Modern
  • Ballroom.

Of course, there is also:

  • Cheerleading
  • Musical Theatre
  • Line Dancing
  • Marching and
  • Musical Groups

I can tailor make a package to suit your dance school.

You can also experience the bright lights of Broadway and participate in Disney on Broadway packages which is particularly great for musical theatre groups.

Why not consider dancing at Universal Studios, on the USS Intrepid Aircraft Carrier in NYC, attend dance workshops at Disneyland, Broadway Dance Centre in New York, The Base in Las Vegas or perform your own choreography at Disneyland or California Adventure Park through Disney Performing Arts.

We can book tour groups 2 ½ years in advance. This enables group participants plenty of time to save and pay off this dream holiday by using our easy layby system. Please note that your group holiday will be booked by myself, Tanya Barker of Centre Stage Dance Tours / Travelmanagers Australia. Your money is always safe in our hands. Please take the time to read this document so you can feel comfortable booking with me and the company with whom I am in partnership.

Please contact me via email here, phone, Facebook or Instagram.

It would be my pleasure to meet with you in person and discuss the opportunity for your dance / music / musical theatre school to start planning your groups dream!

Yours in faith, trust and pixie dust
