DANCE!      MOVEMENT!    FUN!    PERFORMANCE!

 

Dance Factory is the perfect school to harness the passion and energy that young people have for Dance & Performance.

 

Why Dance Factory?

 

40 YEARS HISTORY
We have a proud history of producing some of Australia’s finest performers and choreographers and we apply that same attention to Dance technique, safety and performance to our junior and teenager classes.

DANCE PROFESSIONALS 
Our kids and teenager classes cover a variety of dance styles, all taught by Dance professionals. Styles include Jazz, Hip Hop, Funk, Acro, Cheer, Ballet, Tap, Lyrical, Musical Theatre, Singing and Drama

PERFORM ON STAGE 
We believe in learning through performance. Our Junior School performs in both our mid and end of year shows & teenagers perform at the end of every term.

SHOW COSTUMES SUPPLIED 
No need to make or sew your own costumes.

Our students are encouraged to treat dance as part of a balanced lifestyle, with schoolwork, social life and leisure being of equal priority.

Teachers are advised that classes should be fun, friendly and non-competitive. Our teachers are aware of the need for safe dance technique in young bodies, each student’s body is treated individually.

Exams are held in Term 3 and 4, and are conducted at Dance Factory.  Students will receive a report.
