Philosophy

To provide a comprehensive array of dance styles to all dance students, whether 2 or 80 years old, beginner or advanced. Every beginner is given the opportunity to be inspired and uplifted through the experience of dance. Quality dance education based on an international standard is available for every advanced and interested student affording them the opportunity to compete locally and abroad. We strive towards maintaining a high standard of technique and excellence whilst providing fun and dynamic dance classes.

How we teach

The main emphasis at The Dance Company is to make our classes fun & friendly. Classes for children incorporate dance technique important for the development of gross motor skills, balance, strength and co-ordination. However, we encourage group tasks and improvisation to build social skills and confidence. We also take note that boys and girls move differently from each other and therefore adjust our lessons accordingly. All our students are given the opportunity to express their own creative ideas and in doing so aid the development of their self esteem.

Class Categories:

Students are placed in classes according to age and graded accordingly. Opportunities are available for each student to compete and participate in various festivals.

Progress Report:

Each student’s progress is evaluated at the end of each term and each child is presented with their individual performance report.

Annual Concert:

An annual studio concert is held at the end of the year, giving each student the opportunity to demonstrate what has been learnt in class to their family and friends.

Star Dance Co Award:

At the end of each dance year, a student will be awarded with the ‘Star Dance Co’ Principals Award which is presented upon merit to a single student that has consistently demonstrated characteristics that as a studio we believe to be the essence of any young dancers success.
