Maleny Performing Arts Centre is a local family-owned studio run by the dynamic dance duo Kirsty and Kester Chalkey. Following successful individual careers in professional dance, music, acting and teaching, husband and wife team Kirsty and Kester created Heartspace Performing Arts Centre, which later evolved to become Maleny Performing Arts Centre-MPAC.

MPAC is committed to delivering high-quality performing arts education in a fun, nurturing environment across multiple genres of dance plus singing, theatre and music. Our highly qualified specialist teachers will help to elevate your child’s skills while uplifting their spirit and fostering a sense of community and belonging. This reflects our studio’s heartfelt values: inspiration, motivation, passion, artistry, creativity and technique (iMPACt).

A family-focused studio, MPAC offers classes for all ages, from toddlers to adults. Through collaborations with leading dance schools and nationally respected choreographers, we also offer regular workshops and events for dancers who aspire to achieve the precision of skill necessary to succeed in competitions or even a professional career in dance or the arts. There’s something for everyone at MPAC and we look forward to sharing the magic of dance with you.
