PRIMARY CLASSES

6 - 7 yrs

Gungahlin & Tuggeranong

A fun and foundational stage where young dancers build confidence and coordination while learning basic dance techniques. Classes are designed to be engaging and creative, helping students explore different styles while making friends and growing their love for movement.

  • Every dancer is seen: In these early school years, our teachers take time to understand each dancer’s personality, needs, and learning style. Whether confident or cautious, every child is welcomed with care and guided with patience—ensuring they feel recognised and secure in their environment.

  • Every dancer is celebrated: At this exciting stage, dancers begin to develop greater independence and confidence in class. We celebrate their creativity, their commitment, and the small-but-significant wins that show they're growing as both dancers and individuals. Every step forward is acknowledged and encouraged.

  • Every dancer is challenged: Our Primary programs offer structure, creativity, and age-appropriate technique. Students are gently guided to develop coordination, rhythm, and focus, while being encouraged to try their best and take pride in their progress.

  • Every dancer is cherished: At this impressionable age, emotional safety is just as important as physical development. We nurture each dancer with kindness and consistency, building trust and creating a space where they feel safe to explore, learn, and grow with joy.

Jazz

Tap

Ballet

Acro

Jazz Funk

Our jazz classes are energetic, technique focussed, and allow students opportunities to improvise and learn about their own creative process in choreography.

Our Tap classes are modern with a technical foundation. Students can build a sound understanding of musicality using the floor to create their own beats and rhythms with their feet.

Our Classical Ballet classes are progressive and comprehensive. Students receive an anatomical approach to their technique and a student-centered method allowing them to reach their own full potential while progressing with the class.

In this fun and dynamic class your child will develop strength and flexibility as they explore the variety of shapes their bodies can create. Through our Acro program, students are given the opportunity to participate in strength and conditioning classes to further develop their skills and refine their strength. It is advised that acro is taken alongside a dance style like jazz, lyrical, contemporary or ballet for best practice.

For younger students, Jazz Funk is offered as a blend of Hip Hop and Jazz foundations. Our Hip Hop classes keep this popular genre age appropriate and current. Individuality is encouraged throughout this comprehensive program and students are given opportunities to improvise and create their own pieces.
