Experience the difference

BDC Dance - a community-focussed hub of performing arts activity for education and recreation since 1981.

Enjoy a relaxed, supportive and friendly atmosphere, where learning to dance is fun.

BDC Dance has classes geared towards those with little or no previous experience through to advanced classes taught by tertiary qualified dance teachers. It doesn't matter how rusty or skilled you are, all you need is a desire to learn and to have some fun.

For over 30 years, BDC Dance has offered a wide range of dance and movement classes in an encouraging and positive environment. Established in 1981, as Ballet Rose, in 1994 the studio came under the ownership of Joanne Watt and was renamed BDC Dance.

The teachers at BDC Dance are graduates of Australian and international courses in classical ballet teaching, degree and post graduate dance diplomas and certificate courses in specific syllabus programmes. We have specialist teachers who are proficient in their particular styles with experience in teaching, choreographing and performing.

Our services and facilities provide family friendly, enjoyable recreational dance classes, and other creative and physical pursuits. At BDC Dance little children can explore the joys of moving and music, school aged students may develop technical skills and experiences in ballet, jazz, funk, contemporary, musical theatre, tap, and creative drama and singing. Adults can learn dance as a booster to their general well-being via improved fitness, flexibility, stamina and strength through Pilates, tap, or ballet. We also host Latin Limba and Older Adults Keep Fit Classes offered by Waverley Community Learning Centre.

Annually we offer a September/October dance concert and we frequently arrange additional performance opportunities – sometimes to live music. Our Musical Theatre and Creative Drama and Singing students have a separate performance in a different format that suits them better: The focus is on the experiences, skills and learning opportunities for the students.

At our performances parents are not required to be involved backstage or with costuming. A generous 15% discount applies to total tuition fees for families with more than one person attending our classes. We also offer 2 weeks obligation-free on enrolment so that the right class can be found for the junior and school-aged students.

I invite you to contact us by email or telephone to receive assistance in class selection. Here on our website you will find the 2011 Timetable and information about our styles and our teachers. We are happy to guide you personally through our wide range of classes to find classes that suit you.
