Jazz, Funk, Hip Hop
These classes are paced according to the age group. Jazz classes in 2025 for Minis and above will learn the new Comdance Syllabus which was only recently re choreographed and has modern and achievable content for dancers.
Tap
In 2025, Tap classes will follow the newly rechoreographed and updated Comdance syllabus, to extend the dancer's tapping abilities and joy for Tap!

Why the syllabus transition? To offer more up-to-date and industry relevant content available.

We understand managing a family who do lots of extra curricular is a full time job in itself!
Sometimes life happens and emails get missed, or we lose track of deadlines. From 2025, all the information you need will be consolidated into one easy platform, easily navigated on a device from anywhere, at any time.
From 2025, specific schedules and information will no longer be accessed via the website (to support child safe practises). Instead, parents can easily refer to the App to message the studio, report absences, and access concert, examination and teams information.
Miss Mia is thrilled to be working alongside AUSDANCE in 2025, as a pilot studio for their new Safedance for Kids program.
This new child safety education program to be delivered in dance studios over six engaging module to 8-10 years, grounded in First Nations Cultural safety, teaches child safety to children, addressing mental health, physical, nutritional, social, and online safety.
