We Are The Tribe Collective

“Find Your Tribe…. Love Them Hard”

The Tribe Collective was founded in July 2024 when a host of amazing individuals with varied zones of genius came together with one goal in mind:

Our belief is that wellness in our emerging generations requires a holistic approach- movement, creativity, mental health and community, and so we created a safe space that upheld all of these values with safety and inclusion being the thread that holds all of the departments together under one joyous and welcoming roof.

With a full menu of performing arts, fine arts, creative activities, life skills, mental health coaching, community building and support for children from birth right up to adulthood- The tribe is more than just a collection of classes- it’s a family.

As well as our regular weekly classes we will also be offering short courses, workshops and events to compliment our regular timetable- so be sure to subscribe to our newsletter for all the exciting and soulful things coming up at Tribe.

We are excited to welcome you into the Tribe family!

Team Tribe Collective.

Louise Wilkinson

Director

Louise has been a professional in the entertainment industry for some 25 years. An accomplished vocalist and dancer, she spent her formative training years under the dance direction of Marie Walton Mahon, training in all aspects of dance, before adding singing to her performance repertoire in the late 80’s under the direction of Rita Scott (ex- rockmelons) and classical training under the direction of Miss Narelle Davidson (ex- Opera Australia). Louise has appeared in many performance outfits including the Commitments Big Band, Sydney dance act, L.S.I. and numerous supports Izzy Dye, international Dance act Le Bouche and guitar prodigy Nathan Cavaleri.

She has lent her talents to many corporate events throughout the Hunter including Model For Life for the Spastic Centre, Lake Macquarie City Carols, Newcastle Council citizenship ceremonies, to name a few. She is a consultant for Newcastle TAFE’s Music Industry Skills course and its Performing Arts course. In addition, Louise has produced and stage managed many key events, including entertainment for NBL team, the Pirates, the Newcastle Jets, The Parramatta Eels, Lake Macquarie Council amongst others. She has directed some of the biggest names in the Australian Music Industry including Marcia Hines, Daryl Braithwaite, Becky Cole and the Potbelleez and was entertainment and floor manager for the historic Jets V LA Galaxy match at a sold out Energy Australia Stadium, hosting David Beckham.

Louise was featured as an industry leader in the book Dance Studio Secrets- which featured 20 dance studio owners from around the world which sat at the Amazon best Sellers list for an extended period.

In 2020 Louise ventured into the world of radio and podcast hosting- producing a daily show called “The Juice” for Newcastle Live which focussed on health and wellness and ignited a passion in her to further her studies in wellness and emotion coaching- obtaining her Life Coaching and NLP qualifications in 2022. She recognised post pandemic that anxiety, disconnection and confidence issues were a very real concern.

In 2024 Louise was named Lake Macquarie Creative and Performing Arts Leader of the year by Lake Macquarie City Council.

Standing only 5ft tall Louise has an obsession with high heels and has an impressive and eclectic collection. She operates at her best after a vanilla Latte most mornings.

Testimonials

Our daughter was so shy and not sporty at all. She was having a hard time fitting in with her peers at school and I could see her struggling with anxiety. Starting at The Tribe was the best decision we could have made. Its such a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere and she loves her weekly dance and art classes (I love that we can do multiple things under the one roof too!). She has made so many friends and loves her teachers. She really did find her “Tribe” here.

Rachel Patterson 

My son really found his people at The Tribe Collective. He started in the preschool programmes and has flourished under the teachers tuition as a junior. Many of his friends are still in his junior classes and he feels so at home. Thankyou Tribe!

Beth Shannesey

I can't praise both the philosophy and quality of tuition at Tribe high enough. We have been so impressed with the level of communication from the administration, the progression our children have made both technically and personally and the warm welcome we receive each and every time we walk trough the doors. I love that my children can take multiple art forms under one roof as well. There are many options for kids after school activities but Tribe is a next level experience not only for our children but also for us- the smooth administration systems make life very easy as busy parents!
