Students in Kindy, Beginning Children’s Dance (BCD), Intermediate Children’s Dance (ICD), and Advance Children’s Dance (ACD) who wish to perform are automatically placed in a dance part. We strongly believe that our studio is set apart from others by offering this opportunity in our curriculum. With many more performances to experience, it provides the students with an insight to the world of ballet and gives them the history of the “ballet”.
