What's happening


A helpful guide to our classes

Tiny Tots Classes (3 – 5 years)
Fun, Fun, Fun is the aim of the Tiny Tots classes!  Our classes contain steps little children know and enjoy.   As well as Hi-5, Bananas in Pyjamas and nursery rhymes we have skipping, marching and running and include exercise for the hands and feet to incorporate basic ballet technique.  Children start to develop their imagination with the creative use of movement.

Recreational classes – all levels
Students can participate in all classes/levels for recreation developing fitness, a love of movement and an appreciation of all other art forms, especially music.

Pre-Primary/Primary (6 – 8 years)
Ballet technique (gently introduced at a basic level) with the emphasis on creativity and imagination.  Students start to gain muscle strength, flexibility and coordination.  Students may participate in exams and medals.

Grades 1 to 6
Students develop an artistic and spatial awareness with good listening skills and critical thinking.  As they get older students develop a sense of self discipline.  Students wishing to sit exams should be studying dance for at least 2 ½ hours per week.

Seniors (Intermediate, Advanced 1 and Advanced 2)
Students participating in examinations at this level are considered professional vocational dancers/teachers
