Founded in April 2017, TAMDE - formerly known as Theatre Arts Mackay - has developed into a vibrant, supportive community that values creativity, individuality, and a true sense of belonging. We pride ourselves on fostering a warm, family-focused atmosphere where students of all ages and abilities feel encouraged, inspired, and empowered.

Our mission is to provide a fun, enjoyable, and safe environment where every child can explore their passion for dance or musical theatre. We believe in nurturing confidence, building strong foundations, and helping each student discover their unique potential - both on and off the stage.

Whether your goal is to dance for fitness, join simply for the joy of performing, gain experience in high-level competitions, or work toward the qualifications needed for a professional career in the performing arts, TAMDE offers pathways tailored to every ambition. With dedicated staff, exceptional training, and a positive culture at our core, we strive to support each student’s journey from their very first step to their biggest achievements.

Let TAMDE be your number one choice - where passion thrives, confidence grows, and every performer has the chance to shine!​
