For Studios & Studio Owners

Studios and studio owners shape the culture of dance.

You are trusted by the young people in your care, which makes your role in safeguarding them vital.

For too long, harmful practices have been normalised: overtraining, unsafe methods, blurred boundaries, unqualified teaching, poor regulatory standards and the silencing of young voices. The Mighty Elephant exists to partner with you in systemically changing that culture.

How We Help

Clear Standards, Practices & Protocols

We help define what a safe studio looks like, from professional boundaries to safe training methods to transparent policies.

Support & Guidance

We walk alongside you to build environments where safety is woven into the culture of your studio and not treated as an afterthought.

Regulatory Certification

We provide certifications for meeting regulatory requirements through The Mighty Elephant frameworks formulated from evidence-based Australian studies and legislation.

Education & Training

We provide practical tools for teachers and studio owners to recognise early signs of harm and prevent abuse before it happens. We also equip you to respond effectively when it does occur, including guidance on reporting, whistleblowing and support pathways.

Accountability

We offer pathways to address misconduct when standards are not met, ensuring accountability at every level.

Safety is not separate from creativity, but it is the foundation of it.

When dancers feel safe, they flourish. When studios, teachers and choreographers prioritise protection, they strengthen trust, reputation and set the industry on a new path.

Working with The Mighty Elephant is a commitment to building spaces where harm is not hidden, and where every dancer can thrive and be given tools that they can resource throughout their career.

One voice starts the conversation but many voices invoke real and lasting change.
