Foundation Dance
Prep/Kindy
Our Foundation Dance classes are specially designed to give both girls and boys an introduction to the wonderful world of dance.
We cover the basics of all dance genres, working on gross motor skills, co-ordination, posture, rhythm, technique, movement, mime and confidence, all explored in a caring and fun environment.
Classical Ballet

Ballet is the foundation of all technical dance forms. Ballet instills good work ethic, etiquette, perseverance, dedication, discipline, flexibility and strength. Ballet helps you understand your body better, teaches posture, grace and builds long lean muscles. Dancers work hard in ballet but the results are worth it. At D2D we offer syllabus based classes in the international Cecchetti method. Students have the opportunity to participate in annual ballet examinations.
Jazz

Our jazz classes are high energy workouts that combine strengthening, toning, flexibility and technique.

The classes are structured to include a warm-up, jazz technique and a routine all of which are taught in a fun and energetic environment with the latest top 40 hits on the playlist.

Hip Hop

Our hip hop classes focus on the latest trends in the hip hop dance world and combine co-ordination and isolation to achieve a fun and powerful class. Get down and groovy with our gorgeous hip hop teachers as you learn the latest trends.
Tap

Participating in this class increases your understanding of music and rhythms, and helps you hear sounds and beats in music you may have never heard before. Tap is a skill that can be learnt by students of all ages.


Contemporary

We offer contemporary classes that are based on the ATOD (Australian Teachers of Dance) syllabus. 
Our classes explore dance movement by focusing on the harmony between the light and shade of the music and the resistance and fall of the dancer.

It is perfect for dancers wanting to explore their flexibility and learn new tricks (eg. front and back walk overs / back flips / layouts / aerials etc) Students are put in to classes by the acrobatics teacher according to their experience and ability.

Exercises focus on increasing flexibility and strength, rhythms and isolation of body parts, and expressing personal style.
Song & Dance

Broadway (Song & Dance) is the fusion of singing, dancing, and acting with performance on stage. These classes are for dancers who like the spotlight, drama, singing, and telling a story through dance. Exercises focus on increasing flexibility, strength, confidence, and performance. As students’ progress through each level curriculum will become increasingly more complex and intricate.
