The Ruby Gemstone is the first tier of our mainstream classes in our unique progression system, and our Little Jewels are invited into the Ruby stream when they head to kindergarten. Our Ruby dancers take one 45 minute ballet lesson each week as the base of their foundational technique.
They are also welcome to add tap, jazz, and lyrical classes depending on where they would like to focus their dance journey. Most of our Ruby dancers take 2 styles of dance with us.
Ruby dancers are also offered the option of an R.A.D. Ballet Extension class, which gives dancers the opportunity to take part in ballet exams through the Royal Academy of Dance.
Ruby dancers will work through our curriculum and work towards assessments in ballet and their chosen styles, along with participation in our midyear showcase and end of year production. Most of our Ruby Dancers tend to be in this stream until Year 2 at primary school, from here they will progress into our Sapphire stream.
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.
