Our Classes


DANCER DEVELOPMENT CLASSES (DDP): In our DDP classes we aim to complete 3 routines throughout the year to perform in our end of year showcase. These routines will be a mix of jazz, hiphop, lyrical, contemporary, and heels (for our older students). These classes are also aimed to help our students develop better dance styles and discover which genres are their favourites.

Tap: Tap dance is a percussive dance style where dancers use specialised shoes with metal plates on the toe and heel to create rhythmic sounds by striking the floor with their feet, essentially acting as a percussive instrument while moving their body in a coordinated fashion. 

Pom Squad:  With Miss Eden being an NRL cheerleader in the past we wanted to offer the kids a fun class that will extend on their performance skills. This class is more like the Australian version of Cheerleading (Like at the NRL/NBL) It's not the competitive cheerleading you see in the USA. We'd highly recommend this class for a fun change!

Acrobatics: The beautiful fusion of classic dance techniques with the precision and athleticism of acrobatic elements. Your child will learn acrobatic "tricks" incorporating stretching, cartwheels, tumbling, and flipping. Learn to tumble, flip, cartwheel, lift and develop friendships all while learning trust and teamwork skills. Flexibility and all round strength and conditioning.









Aerial Silks: Aerial silks is a performance art genre where artists utilise long, suspended fabric (often called "silks") to perform acrobatic movements, including climbing, wrapping, swinging, and dropping their bodies into various poses while hanging in the air, creating a visually striking and gravity-defying display, often combining elements of dance and acrobatics.

Ballet: A refined and expressive dance genre that combines athletic technique with artistic storytelling. Rooted in centuries-old tradition, it features precise, disciplined movements, graceful lines, and seamless coordination with music. Ballet can be both narrative and abstract, using the body to convey emotion, beauty, and drama while making extraordinary physical skill appear effortless.

Troupe: Our Troupe classes are designed for advanced dancers who demonstrate passion, commitment, and a genuine love of performing. Placement is by invitation only; however, we welcome enquiries if you feel your child may be ready for this next step.Troupe dancers learn choreography at an accelerated pace and perform throughout the year at a variety of dance competitions. Our primary focus is on building performance experience, confidence, and enjoyment on stage — with competition success being a rewarding bonus.For further details about our troupes, please visit the Troupe tab.

                                                    is a dynamic dance genre that combines movement, acting, and storytelling. Drawing from Broadway and stage performance, it focuses on expressive choreography, character work, and performance quality, bringing songs and stories to life through confident, engaging movement.

Musical Theatre/Production:
