Our Dance Classes
Introduce your little one to dance through playful movement, rhythm and music. Our baby ballerinas program supports coordination, confidence and social development in a gentle, supportive environment designed especially for toddlers and preschoolers aged 2 to 5.
Our
ballet classes focus on foundational technique, posture and musicality, helping dancers build grace, strength and discipline. Suitable for beginners to advanced levels, these classes support confidence, expression and structured progression through recognised examination pathways.
Jazz dance is energetic, expressive and fun — perfect for building rhythm, strength and confidence. Students learn upbeat choreography and technique in a supportive space, with classes available for a range of ages and skill levels.
Tap dancing develops rhythm, timing and coordination through percussive footwork and dynamic routines. Students learn foundational technique and musical awareness while having fun with engaging choreography that challenges both the body and mind.
Contemporary dance blends classical technique with expressive, fluid movement. Students explore creativity, emotion and musical interpretation, developing strength, control and flexibility. Ideal for dancers wanting to connect storytelling and technique.
Troupe classes focus on teamwork, performance and stage presence. Dancers train in choreography across styles and may represent the studio at competitions and events. Entry is by invitation or audition and requires commitment.
Hip hop classes are high-energy and expressive, focusing on rhythm, freestyle movement and street-inspired choreography. Students build confidence, coordination and personal style in a fun, supportive space that encourages creativity and self-expression.
Acrobatics combines dance technique with strength, flexibility and controlled movement. Students learn safe tumbling, balancing and dynamic tricks in a supportive environment that encourages physical development and skill progression across all levels.
National character dance introduces students to traditional folk-inspired styles from around the world. Blending expressive movement with classical technique, these classes develop rhythm, storytelling and cultural appreciation through vibrant, stylised choreography.
Our Other Classes
Conditioning classes focus on building strength, flexibility and core control to support safe, effective dancing. Students work through targeted exercises that improve posture, alignment and endurance — ideal for injury prevention and enhancing overall performance.
Private lessons offer one-on-one coaching tailored to individual goals, whether it’s mastering technique, preparing for exams or building confidence. These sessions provide focused support, flexible pacing and personalised feedback across all dance styles and skill levels.
