Dance school invests in Beerwah’s future

MASTERPIECE Dance has marked a significant milestone with the relocation to a new, purpose-built facility at Units 7 and 8, 47 Beerwah Parade, Beerwah, with main access via Free Street.

The move follows the purchase of the premises late last year by well-known local owners Lewis and Sarah Kwarcianyi, after more than a decade of operating from leased locations near Australia Post.

Over a ten-week period, the couple undertook a full renovation of the former upholstery and mechanical workshops, transforming them into modern dance studios featuring high ceilings, air conditioning, sprung floors and full-length aerial apparatus.

Sarah said the investment was a natural progression for the business, stating “after 11 years of operation, it made sense to secure our own premises and invest locally, creating a space families can enjoy for many years to come”.

Lewis highlighted confidence in Beerwah’s growth, citing population increases and planned train station upgrades. He noted the eastern side of the railway line is expected to become a key activity hub over the next decade, supported by improved connectivity along Steve Irwin Way.

The relocation was supported by the wider community, with families and friends assisting during the fit-out.

Sarah said “we are so grateful for everyone’s help, it has been a huge process”.

Masterpiece Dance offers a broad program including ballet, jazz, hip-hop, contemporary, musical theatre, acrobatics and aerial arts for children aged two to 17, as well as adult classes.

The expansion reflects a local success story built on long-term commitment to the Hinterland community, and culminated in a grand opening event held on Saturday January 31.
