For students aged 2+
We offer classes for students from two years of age to adults – from our thriving Baby Toes Program to our Examination and Competition stream. The Dance Studio students can start their dance journey with us as a toddler and continue into their adult years. Interested in a more relaxed once a week class without the hassles or pressure of exams? We offer recreational classes in all genres from age seven upwards! With a program for EVERY student, we are the one-stop dance studio in the Eastern Suburbs!
Trial 2 classes
We offer all prospective students a trial period to ensure that TDS is the right fit for them before committing to enrolment. This gives the student and their family a chance to get a feel for the class and meet the teacher, and for us to make sure that we have chosen the most appropriate program for your child. Register your interest to arrange your two week trial period.

Acrobatic Dance Classes
This class works on acrobatic skills for dancers to enhance their on stage performances including cartwheels, hand stands, walk-overs, back flips and tumbling tricks.
Ballet Dance Classes
The true foundation of dance form, ballet trains each dancer’s strength, discipline, flexibility and technique.
Jazz Dance Classes
Jazz dance involves flexibility training, isolations and fun upbeat choreography. Thanks to its popularity on TV shows, movies, music videos and commercials, Jazz is one of our most popular dance styles.
Musical Theatre Dance Classes
Junior and senior dance students work on musical theatre pieces to developing their use of voice, singing & acting in combination with dance.
Tap Dance Classes
Tap dance is characterized by using the sounds of tap shoes striking the floor as a form of percussion. It is widely performed in musical theatre and focuses on musicality, style and very fast movements of the feet and legs to produce varied rhythms and sounds.
Hip Hop Dance Classes
Dance to popular music and develop rhythm, style and musicality using quick dynamic movements isolating all parts of the body. Hip Hop classes are for students from 8 years of age and is a style often seen in film clips.
Contemporary Dance Classes
Contemporary, developed from classical ballet, involves creative expression utilising a combination of free flowing and contract and release movements. We teach a range of contemporary styles including the popular lyrical contemporary. To provide our dancers with a strong foundation, contemporary students also enrol in at least one classical ballet class at our school.
