History of Rhythm Factory 

Rhythm Factory has developed over the past 8 years as Bronwyn Meredith originally from New Zealand, the founder of the school, operated a successful school in Queenstown. Then moving to Australia commenced classes in Sydney's north west regions in 2002 bringing her energy and enthusiasm to early age children through a specialised programme incorporating all the aspects of her dance and early childhood experiences.

With an emphasis on fun and the ultimate enjoyment for the children, Bronwyn developed a style and programme that encompasses all the fundamental elements of Dance, Music and Movement in a fun and open environment.. 

After inspiring children all over the south Island of New Zealand, children in Sydney are now enjoying the benefits of an early appreciation of a fun and developing experience.

We look forward to welcoming you to one of our classes!
