Classes

Academy classes run on a term basis of three months per term. In the run up to a performance, competition or event coming up, our students will be required to attend extra rehearsals and added classes maybe added throughout the week.

Our vibrant and energetic Academy give students the chance to achieve incredible technique and performance skills in a exciting variety of current forms.
