Class Descriptions
Providing our young dancers with a pathway into a professional career
Royal Academy of Dance (RAD)- From 5 years to Senior
A carefully structured syllabus suitable for boys and girls which begins from when children are in Grade 1 at school. Students are taught the Royal Academy of Dance (R.A.D) syllabus, which is a London based organisation, recognised and taught in over 70 countries around the world. Children are encouraged to progress at their own pace and can undertake optional examinations at the end of each grade. Ballet is a disciplined style of dance that develops a student's poise, strength, fitness, expression and coordination as well as promoting self-discipline and self-esteem.
Australian Conservatoire of Ballet Syllabus- ACB- Extension Program, Elite Program, Part-time and Full-time Programs.

Devised by Christine Walsh AM, The Australian Conservatoire of Ballet’s 12 year program is designed to suit the needs of all classical ballet students who are unable to take full-time dance training from an early age. The Australian Conservatoire of Ballet training and assessment program emphasises correct placement, dynamics and performing quality which are all qualities inherent in the Vaganova method.
Contemporary Dance
Examinations through Comdance- Jason Winters Technique.
This modern dance style is a favourite among our dancers as it allows them to experience their full range of motion and emotion. Inspired by a combination of classical ballet technique and modern movement Contemporary dance enables freedom of movement and expression through abstract and exploratory movement to music and rhythms.
Contemporary dance draws an array of still developing philosophies of movement based on the study of the human body and body/mind inter-relationships.
Flamenco and Character Dance
A incredible class that works students movement of the head, neck and upper body which perfectly works in with the development and requirements for Classical Ballet training.
.Flamenco/Character creates flair, charisma and performance in dancers. Teaching them to move and perform at a young age while having a focus on developing musicality. These are the reason that the Australian Ballet School and Royal Ballet School train their students in Flamenco and Spanish dance.
