Inspiring Confidence Through Dance
At Dance For Life Junior Academy, we offer classes for children aged 2.5 through to teens. Dance helps children grow in confidence, creativity, and self-expression—often giving even the shyest child a voice through movement.
Our passionate teachers create a safe, supportive space where children can thrive. Classes are inclusive, structured, and tailored to suit each student’s needs.
From Primary level upwards, students take part in internal assessments to support their progress in classical ballet. Reports and certificates are provided to celebrate their growth.
We keep things fun and provide performance opportunities, we put on a mid-year studio display and a joyful end-of-year stage show.
Through dance, your child will develop strength, discipline, artistry, and life skills that go far beyond the studio.
You can book a trial, enrol for the term in from our online student portal booking system.
Trials are $10 for juniors. You may trial two different classes (once each).
For new students, we prorate fees so you can join at any time during the term. An annual flat rate registration fee applies for new enrollments or when a student ceases their enrollment and later returns within the same year.
