Classes

“Dancing is like dreaming with your feet!”
~ Constanze

Classical Ballet

Classes in classical ballet are offered in Levels 1 to 4 and then Degrees 1 to 6. The syllabus The Ballerina Co. follows is the Laurel Martyn Dance System.

“A unique approach to movement and dance instructions, developed by Laurel Martyn, to suit Australian conditions and training requirements.

The philosophies and practical application of this system are quite different from traditional dance teaching methods. In this system, the principles and purpose of movement and creative expression are recognised as the core elements of the teaching, rather than a rigid, standardised syllabus of training.” Movement and Dance Education Centre

Ballerina Babies

Suitable for children aged 2 to 3 years, this class offers children an introduction to classical dance, with an emphasis on creativity, musicality and coordination.

Pre-primary Ballet (4 year old children)

This class builds on learnings from the Ballerina Babies class. It also prepares children for their transition into the Laurel Martyn Dance System.

Adult Ballet

The adult ballet class is a beginner class for adults wishing to learn classical dance, while improving fitness, strength and flexibility.

Jazz Ballet

Jazz ballet classes are offered through the Australian Teachers of Dancing syllabus. This style has become very popular with the rise of dance shows such as “So you think you can dance”. A strong classical ballet background is important for jazz dancers.

Tap

Tap dancing is a unique dance technique and can be enjoyed by both children and adults alike. The Ballerina Co. offers tap classes through the Australian Teachers of Dancing syllabus.
