Who We Are
Founded by Joan Gisborne and passed on to Vicky Codling in 2009, Funky Feet has continued to grow and evolve into a leading school in the heart of our community. Under Vicky’s guidance, the school has flourished, expanding our offerings to include a wide variety of dance styles and performing arts disciplines for children as young as 2.5 years old, all the way up to adults.
