Performance Teams

Extending training through performance.

Our Performance Teams provide dedicated dancers with opportunities to further develop their technique, artistry and performance skills through additional training, rehearsals and competitions.

Building on the foundations established in their weekly classes, dancers learn choreography, refine their technique and develop the discipline, confidence and teamwork that come with performing as part of a group.

Our Teams

Ballet Performance Team

Dancers learn and rehearse a classical ballet-style routine, with a focus on technique, musicality, precision and artistry.

Performance Team

  • Petite: Lyrical routine

  • Junior & Senior: Lyrical and contemporary routines

Each team rehearses weekly in their dedicated Performance class, refining choreography, developing performance quality and strengthening technique throughout the year.

Performance Teams offer valuable opportunities to:

  • Gain additional stage and performance experience.

  • Strengthen technique and apply skills developed in regular classes.

  • Improve musicality, coordination, artistry and presentation.

  • Develop greater confidence, focus and performance quality, supporting progression in ballet training and examinations.

  • Build discipline, commitment and teamwork through regular rehearsals.

  • Form friendships and share the experience of performing with fellow dancers.

Competitions & Performances

Our teams participate in approximately four dance competitions each year, predominantly within the Sutherland Shire, with one competition typically held further afield in North Sydney, Sydney or Wollongong.

These events provide opportunities for dancers to gain stage experience, receive feedback and celebrate their progress throughout the year.

Performance Teams complement each dancer's regular weekly training, providing further opportunities to develop, perform and grow.
