DANCE 
CLASSES

Classical Ballet is the cornerstone of all genres of dance, developing strength, turnout, coordination, and grace.

At Studio 2 we have a 95% ballet class attendance rate within our enrolled students. We follow the CSTD Classical Ballet syllabus, and offer all our ballet students the opportunity to sit their examinations each year.    

New to 2024, our jazz classes follow the International Dance Technique program. IDT 

includes progressive stretch exercises and age appropriate conditioning exercises to strengthen muscles, increase agility, control and power in dance combos. These classes are encouraged for dancers who would like to improve their technique to further their dancing

Students wishing to sit Comdance exams can attend exam classes.

 At Studio 2 tap is trending!! Again structured around the Comdance Tap syllabus, many of our students take the opportunity to put on their tap shoes and make some amazing rhythms and sounds. Learning multiple styles of tap through the grades, our students are introduced to straight, street, funky, tango and Broadway styles of tap. If given the opportunity, tap can truly be advantageous to the well rounded dancer!!!

Contemporary is a wonderful form of dance that develops strength, co-ordination, expression, and emotion. Class has a focus on learning the Contemporary dance fundamentals of contraction, release and ‘fall-away’, while establishing strength and control through floor, counter-balance and partner work. Each class, students enjoy learning the art of dance expression by working and developing ‘teacher set’ choreography.  

These classes teach the moves and grooves which are fundamental to Hip Hop. Students will learn different techniques as well as work on choreography for performance items for the concert and showcase. Looking for a fun and energetic class to discover your inner funk then this is the class for you.

One of the oldest forms of performance, our Musical Theatre classes not only introduces students to the foundations of singing and acting but teaches students about the history of the style. This class focuses on developing students’ confidence and performance skills which are utilised in their other styles of dance. 

As older ballet students grow in their ballet strength and technique, we offer the opportunity for them to go ‘en pointe’. Our Pointe classes (which incorporates Pre Pointe also for those students making the transition to Pointe) develops the strength and technique required for students to safely wear and use their pointe shoes. As all dancers grow and mature at different rates, the invitation to commence pointe may vary amongst students.

Develop strength, flexibility, dance and tumbling skills in a safe environment with qualified acrobatic and dance teachers. Our acro classes are highly popular ... and addictive! If you have a little circus performer at home who likes to spend more time upside down than right way up, our acro classes are for them. Following the Acrobatic Arts Syllabus, Acro is a great combination of gymnastics and dance, all rolled into one energetic and fun class.
