Ballet Classes
Our ballet program builds technical excellence from preschool to advanced levels. Students develop posture, alignment, and classical technique through ATOD syllabus training. Progressing Ballet Technique (PBT) enhances muscle memory and flexibility. Classes incorporate pointe work preparation for senior students.
Hip Hop Dance
Dynamic hip hop classes teach popping, isolations, and street-style techniques. Our 45-minute sessions improve rhythm and stage presence while maintaining technical foundations. Three skill levels cater to primary and high school students.
Musical Theatre
Integrated vocal, drama, and dance training prepares students for stage performances. Participants learn character development, monologues, and song interpretation using ATOD's 7-level syllabus. Classes culminate in concert performances.
Acrobatics
Certified instructors teach safe acrobatic techniques aligned with The Acrobatic Dance Association syllabus. Skills are integrated into conditioning classes, focusing on flexibility, strength, and controlled movements for dance applications.

Specialised conditioning classes develop core strength and muscle endurance. Using fitness equipment and targeted exercises, we improve jump quality, turn technique, and injury prevention. Four progressive levels accommodate ages 7+.

My daughter has danced here for many years and I've participated in some of the Adult classes - great studio! I found the adult classes good fun. The teachers tailored the class to suit me (beginner level), as well as the more advanced adult students :)
