All Abilities Cheer And Dance

What All Abilities Cheer And Dance does

All Abilities Cheer and Dance is a privately-held, Adelaide-based studio founded in July 2020 by Director Mrs Alana, operating exclusively for people with disabilities of all ages. It delivers cheerleading, dance, and movement programs across more than a dozen class types — including Cheerleading Level 1, Perform Ability (therapy-based performing arts), Dance Play, Junior Rec Dance, Lyrical/Contemporary, Hip Hop, Pom, Jazz, Tap, Music & Movement, private lessons, online Sing Sign & Move sessions, and competition teams — at two Adelaide community venues (Royal Park and Mile End South) for the 2026 program year. The studio's coaches combine formal disability-sector qualifications (e.g., Bachelor of Disability and Developmental Education, Postgraduate Certificate in Disability Studies, Positive Behaviour Support Practitioner credentials) with lived disability experience, and are affiliated with Perform Ability and Special Olympics Australia. All Abilities is not a registered NDIS service provider, but its fees are aligned with NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits 2025-26, allowing NDIS plan-managed and self-managed participants to claim classes under Core Supports — Social and Community Participation.

The business operates a direct-to-consumer go-to-market: prospective participants register interest via the company's Wix-hosted website, email, or phone, after which pricing is provided on a quote basis. Revenue is generated primarily from recurring monthly program fees (subscription model), with an ancillary one-time revenue stream from custom-branded merchandise (training bags, jerseys, backpacks, pom-poms, lanyards, drink bottles). Distribution is domestic and single-metro: programs are delivered in-person at the two Adelaide venues, with online delivery channeled through the Perform Ability partnership. The studio has no disclosed app, API, or AI/ML capability layer; its technical footprint is limited to its website, social media presence (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn), and standard productivity tooling. Headcount is reported at 1-10 employees and no funding rounds, parent company, or external investment are disclosed.

Marketing and customer acquisition rely on earned media (ABC News Adelaide, 7NEWS, The Advertiser, Kiddo Mag, UniSA Connect, GLAM Adelaide, Adelady), organic social media, NDIS-network referrals (Support Coordinators, Local Area Coordinators, Plan Managers), and word-of-mouth within parent and disability-sector communities. The studio's competitive position rests on a category-of-one claim in Adelaide (the only studio offering recreation, competition, and online disability cheer/dance programs under one roof), therapeutic coaching credentials, and competition pathway representation at the ICU World Cheerleading Championships in April 2025.

Scale indicators1 record

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Disability Sports Australia: National peak body for disability sport in Australia, advocating for inclusive participation across all sporting disciplines. Comparable to All Abilities in the disability-sports space and a potential referral / partnership channel, though it operates as an industry body rather than a direct program provider.
• Ausdance: The national peak body for dance in Australia, representing the broader dance industry across education, performance, and recreation. Relevant as an industry umbrella and benchmarking body for All Abilities' dance education programs, though it does not deliver direct disability-specialised instruction.
• Special Olympics Australia: The national disability sports umbrella body of which All Abilities is a proud affiliate. Overlapping in adaptive sport competitions and disability awareness coaching, Special Olympics Australia is broader in scope (multi-sport) but provides the credentialing and competitive pathways that All Abilities leverages.

Others

• Northcott: Major NDIS-registered disability services provider in NSW and beyond, delivering therapy, accommodation, and recreation programs. Relevant as an NDIS-support ecosystem participant that may funnel plan-managed participants to All Abilities, though its core offering is therapy and support services rather than cheer/dance.
• Cerebral Palsy Alliance: Major Australian disability services provider offering therapy, accommodation, and recreation programs to people with cerebral palsy and other disabilities. Comparable as a disability-services ecosystem participant that may refer participants to All Abilities for inclusive cheer/dance, though its core business is therapy and support services.
• Attitude Foundation: Australian disability arts and media foundation promoting the work of creators with disabilities. Adjacent as a disability-arts ecosystem participant that overlaps with All Abilities' inclusive performing-arts mission, though its primary focus is on disability-led storytelling and media rather than instruction.
• Variety the Children's Charity (Variety SA): Granted All Abilities a Variety SA grant in 2021 to support inclusion in cheer and dance. Variety is functionally an adjacent funder/funder-network within the disability children's space, comparable partnership-wise as a disability-focused channel that connects to All Abilities' participant base.

Direct peers

• Rainbow Club: Australian network providing adaptive swimming lessons for children with disabilities. Direct peer in the adaptive recreation/services-for-disability space, offering structured instructional programs that are often eligible for NDIS — and a comparable model for community-led, disability-focused recreational programming.
• Perform Ability: Australia's therapy-based performing arts program for people of all ages with disabilities. Perform Ability is directly affiliated with All Abilities, delivers the Online Sing, Sign & Move program, and offers a near-identical value proposition (disability dance, choreography, self-expression) — making it the closest direct peer.
• Sporting Wheelies and Disabled Association: Queensland-based disability sports organisation offering a wide range of adaptive recreation and sport programs. Comparable to All Abilities as a disability-specialised sport/recreation provider in Australia, though operating at a larger state-wide scale and across multiple sports.
