About DanceWeb
In January 2001, born out of a collective passion for teaching dance to the youth of South Africa, Craig and Mandy Bullock started their own dance studio, DanceWeb, in Bryanston, Johannesburg. In 2003, they moved to the scenic suburb of Parkmore where they’ve been ever since.
Under their passionate instruction, DanceWeb has grown from humble beginnings into a world-class dance academy producing world championship dancers and choreographers. Dancers from DanceWeb have participated in top-rated reality television shows, corporate functions, events and world dancing championships.
DanceWeb’s long and established pedigree, focus on perfection and the pure enjoyment of dance makes it the perfect place to come and enjoy the expression of your body that is dancing, no matter your level of experience!
