Senior Program (15 Years +)

We have many classes available for your child aged 15 years or older.

Our Senior Program will not only give your child the opportunity to excel in their confidence, dance abilities and performance levels, their overall life skills will be enhanced preparing them for a joyful journey into early adulthood.

This age group tends to need an outlet from their stressful and busy lifestyles and keeping active in a nurturing and loving environment is the best way to keep your child focused, inspired and physically and socially active!

Senior Program

Ballet

Fridays 5:45-6:30pm

Enjoyment, grace and elegance is rich within our ballet classes and you will enjoy the unique teaching style of our teachers.

United Dance follows the Australian Teachers Of Dancing (ATOD) syllabus, which is designed to engage students in learning the foundation to all other dance styles along with the correct technique to improve musicality, strength and rhythm.

Students who take ballet classes build self-control, body awareness and self discipline as they learn to master increasingly technical moves.

Classes starting from $16 per week
Showcase costumes total $80 for 1x ballet costume

Tap

Wednesdays 5-5:30pm (Level 5)

Our tap classes are noisy, enjoyable and inspiring!

Students are taught this genre under the guidance of the ‘Glenn Wood Tap’ Syllabus which is designed and also followed by the famous ‘Tap Dogs’! Dancers join the wonderful, rustic and hard hitting street style of tap, where banging your feet on the ground and making as much noise as you can is accepted!

Classes starting from $14 per week
Showcase costumes total $80 for 1x tap costume

Jazz And Hip Hop Combo Class

Wednesdays 5:30-6:30pm

Modern and dynamic, hip hop and jazz are certainly addictive.

These powerful, high-energy dance styles rely on a punchy beat and a little bit of sass!

Enjoy our unique takes on hip hop and jazz by learning the foundations of these styles in one class.

Classes starting from $18 per week
Showcase costumes total $160 for 1x jazz costume and 1x hip hop costume

Lyrical And Contemporary Combo Class

Wednesdays 6:30-7:15pm

When you participate in contemporary and lyrical combo classes at United Dance you will be dancing the basic foundations of ballet combined with our modern edge. Students are taught and encouraged to use their musicality, imagination, creativity, dynamics and emotions in class.

Young dancers also learn the correct technique to improve your grace, style, strength and flexibility to perform kicks, leaps, tricks and turns. We encourage all of our students to ‘let go’ in class to enjoy a wonderful feeling of freedom.

Classes starting from $16 per week
Showcase costumes total $160 for 1x lyrical costume and 1x contemporary costume

Tumbling & Acro

Mondays 6:45-7:30pm Level 1 to 3
Fridays 4:30-5:15pm Level 1
Fridays 5-5:45pm Level 2 and 3

Our Acro & Tumble classes are designed for students aged 3 years and older who are interested in gaining more strength and flexibility to be able to perform acrobatic and tumbling tricks and skills. United Dance is a certified Acrobatic Arts studio with qualified and experienced Acrobatic Arts teachers. Acrobatic Arts is a world wide known curriculum in developing versatile acrobats with a high focus on safety and progression readiness. All of our Acro & Tumble classes consist of mandatory strength and conditioning to assure the safety and readiness for our students to perform these skills. Students who enrol in this new program need to be aware of the strength and conditioning component of the class, as this type of exercise is based on level of strength and flexibility. It is a stepping stone program, meaning we will not teach your child to perform skills they are not ready for, this is why the strength and flexibility component are so important.

Our NEW Extension acro class is for students to work on harder skills as an add on to their normal recreational acro class. This class is invitational only and is based on student assessment and progression.

Classes start from $14/week
Showcase costumes start from $80 for 1x routine
