Ballet Classes

Ballet is an exquisite art form, that inspires creativity and musicality. It also is incredible for building strength, coordination and flexibility.

Our ballet classes are broken into four levels:
Foundations and Beyond - Ballet Foundations course graduates
Level 1 - Experienced Beginners
Level 2 - Intermediate
Advanced Ballet Enchainements - Intermediate/Advanced

More advanced levels move into developing your technique, co-ordination and rhythm through longer and more challenging sequences including adage, pirouettes and allegro combinations.

Contemporary dance blends the style of ballet and modern dance in a fun and creative class. We incorporate floor work and encourage you to try new things, getting you out of your comfort zone while developing skills, confidence and self-expression.

We acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land on which we work and perform. Long before we performed on this land, it played host to the dance expression of our First Peoples. We pay our respects to their Elders — past, present and emerging — and acknowledge the valuable contribution they have made and continue to make to the cultural landscape of this country.
