Mrs Cara Dunn (Forato)
(Dip. Dance Teaching & Management) – Director
My name is Cara Dunn, and I am the owner of CaraBelle School of Dance. I am a proud mum to two beautiful boys and a gorgeous baby girl. I have been involved in dance for quite a while. My dance journey started learning dance when I was 3 years old and I've been teaching since the age of 15.
I completed my Diploma in Dance Teaching and Management at Box Hill Institute of Tafe, which qualified me to teach dance in 2010. As extra study I have completed my Diploma in Jazz and almost finished my diploma in tap for the T.A.A.D syllabus (Teachers of Australian Academy of Dancing). I have performed in numerous events such as the closing ceremony of the Commonwealth Games in Melbourne in 2006.
My main focus is the Dance school and the students. I love to work with children and share my knowledge with them. It brings a smile to my face when I see them enjoying dance and what they are learning in class.
CaraBelle School of Dance is a stress-free environment, which makes the children feel at home.

I am a storyteller in every sense of the word, training as an actor and performer in other areas throughout my life. This is evident in my choreography, as I believe every dance has a story. I would love for my students to enjoy exploring this with me.
See you out there!

Hi! My name is Caitlin, and I’m so excited to be joining the teaching team at Carabelle School of Dance! I have been dancing nonstop since I was 5, and recently completed 3 years of full-time training in many styles, including jazz, musical theatre, hip hop, contemporary, ballet, tap and latin/ballroom. After teaching for the past six years, I have really developed a love for choreographing, sharing my knowledge and providing a safe and fun learning environment for all my students. I can’t wait to meet everyone and have an amazing year of dancing!

Testimonials
I have tried a few dance schools, but for me and my girls (who are not going to be professional dancers) Cara Belle is perfect. My 9yo has been attending 4 years and my 11yo started last year. We have many other activities to fit in, so it suits just one session a week and they can be exposed to a variety of different dance styles and teachers. The teachers seem dedicated and passionate about sharing their love of dance. Cara Belle, to me, is more than just encouraging quality movement, posture and physical development. The benefits are so much broader in terms of my girl’s personal development and I believe the young teachers are great role models. My girls always have a big smile on their face taking them to ballet, and even wider eyes and high excitement levels when I collect them. Thank you Miss Cara for creating the dance experiences that they love.
