Meet the Team | PAWS Studios Penrith

The people your kids will love

Friendly faces, serious credentials, and teachers who remember every child's name.

Rebecca Liu-Brennan, Principal

PAWS started in a very small studio in Kingswood. Nineteen years later, it's one of the biggest and most successful performing arts schools in Sydney — built on Rebecca's belief that every child has something worth putting on a stage.

With over two decades of teaching experience, Rebecca is a teacher and mentor with the Royal Academy of Dance. Career highlights include choreographing for two groups on Australia's Got Talent, an opera production, and a piece for Delta Goodrem at Project Pink, a major breast cancer gala.

Her impact reaches well beyond Penrith too: she founded Dance Cirque, a circus program now taught in over 200 studios across six countries, and is a co-owner of Dance Principals United, which helps studio owners around the world build better studios.

At PAWS, that experience translates to one thing: a curriculum designed to grow confident, capable, kind kids — on stage and off.
