Our Contemporary Dance program is unique and highly structured. 

Our program is based on the system of dance training created by Martha Graham and Doris Humphrey/Limon. The classes follow a set curriculum. Students develop strong technique, an emotive connection to dancing, coordination, flexibility and strength.

Dianne, a seasoned artist with 30+ years in performance, choreography, and education, has crafted an outstanding dance program at Diakosmos Dance.

Specialising in Contemporary Dance, she trained at the Martha Graham School in New York during the transformative ’90s. Dianne expanded her expertise through studies in London, New Zealand, and Australia.

A qualified teacher, she seamlessly blends her dual passions, focusing on individual dance journeys for mainstream and specialist school students.

Dianne’s philosophy emphasises self-expression, emotion through movement, improving physical strength and mobility in a creative setting.

Dianne holds a Bachelor of Education from Deakin University (Dance & Drama) and a Graduate Diploma (Choreography) from the University of Melbourne (VCA).



Greta Scuderi has trained in Contemporary, Cecchetti Ballet, Jazz, Musical Theatre and Tap. Greta commenced her Dance training at Diakosmos Dance Academy and we are thrilled to have her return in her new role as a teacher.
