Emerald dancers are invited to continue their ballet exam journey in this stream with R.A.D. extension classes being offered, as well as our competitive extension stream. Dancers who compete at this level often take part in various eisteddfods throughout the year as their schedule allows.
As our Emerald dancers reach 14 they are able to apply for our assistant teacher training program. This program is open by application only and is coordinated by Alisa, the Director of Elite Dance.
The story of Elite Dance began in 1994, when we started from scratch as Lamott School of Dance. Our love of dance education has seen us grow into a thriving and respected dance school in our community. In 2006, Lorraine Blackburn, one of the founding teachers of the studio took the reins exclusively and we were renamed to Elite Dance, reflective of the type of instruction we offer.
At Elite Dance, we endeavour to give our students the encouragement and support needed to reach their dance goals. No student is left out during performances and all our young dancers are given the opportunity to show their progress to family and friends.
Dance is a wonderful pastime to be enjoyed by all ages. It teaches a range of disciplines that can be used throughout a student’s lifetime. Our dedicated and qualified teachers and caring attitude allows our students to flourish and develop into confident and disciplined dancers.
Students are given the very best in dance education, we employ a policy of limited class sizes to ensure our students receive valuable and enriching classes and receive maximum benefit from our teachers’ expertise. We aim to keep our lessons as convenient as possible for parents and our dance timetables are scheduled to run alongside the public school terms.
No classes finish later than 8:30pm and all classes are taught by responsible adults. We know how important your children are and Elite Dance prides itself on always using age appropriate music, costumes and choreography.
Character dance classes compliments classical ballet technique, builds up stamina and helps students to learn coordination.
Classical ballet is the foundation from which nearly all dance styles have developed. It requires strong technique, athleticism, and grace.
This is the introduction to ballet. There is no examination for this class. However there is a presentation to an examiner at exam time to prepare them for examinations in the future.
The basis to all dance styles is Ballet, teaching core technique that all students should do if serious about dance.
Our school offers all levels of classical ballet. We are committed to giving our students a good sound classical technique. We encourage the training of classical ballet as it gives all our performers the very best basis for all dance styles.
