Classes

Founded on the principles of kindness, respect, and community, all Dance Northside classes are fun, age appropriate, and accessible. Our philosophy is that everyone can dance! We provide quality dance education in a safe, supportive, and nurturing environment. All classes are delivered by trained dance teachers and in line with our COVID-19 Policy.

Timetable – Term 1, 2024

Dance Northside takes enrolments throughout the year, except during performance seasons.

We roll enrolments over from one term to the next, so once enrolled your spot is secure for the rest of the year! (Don’t worry, you can still opt out at any time.)

Each term at our studio is consistent with the ACT public school terms.

Note on calculation: class time is added up by family and tuition cost split evenly between students in that family. For example, if you have one child enrolled in Minis Creative Movement (40 mins) and another child who is their sibling enrolled in Kids Hip Hop (1 hour), the total amount of weekly class time for your family is 1 hour 40 mins and the total cost is $325, with each student charged $162.50.
There is a small additional performance/costume fee for students participating in the mid-year Showcase and end of year Community Concert in Terms 2 and 4 respectively.
