Want 3 classes for the price of 1?

Our Combo classes are perfect for Kindergarten and Grade 1 children, where they learn 3 styles of dance in one convenient class. Young dancers develop their knowledge, technique and rhythm in Ballet, Jazz and Tap while having fun and making friends. In this class, dancers also start to learn the fundamental basics of dance acrobatics helping them progress and prepare for our performance programs once they move into Grade 2 at school.

Is your child always upside down?

Dance Acro classes will ensure your child gains strength, flexibility and confidence. Through learning Dance Acrobatics, students will focus on the development of upper body and core strength, flexibility and balance with dedication to safe and monitored learning through the graded progressions of the Acrobatic Arts syllabus. Students participate in carefully planned lessons that continuously promote safety and correct technique, which minimises injury and maximises success.

Learn one of dance’s most respected disciplines.

Ballet is one of the world’s most beautiful and revered art forms. Children will love building on a foundation of basic movements set to beautiful music as they grow in their strength and ability. Dancers who take ballet classes build self-control, body awareness and self discipline as they learn to master increasingly technical moves. At PMPA, we offer Open Ballet classes and classes that follow the Australian Teachers of Dance (ATOD) curriculum, with the ability to participate in examinations and scholarship days.

Experience the energy of jazz!

This popular and dynamic style is set to popular music and Top 40 tracks in a range of age groups. Jazz is enjoyable for any dancer who just wants to get moving! Students have the opportunity to work towards group performances or competitions, or can come along to classes for their own enjoyment. To join a competitive class that performs at eisteddfods choose a Performance Jazz class, for a fun class that doesn’t compete but still performs on stage, choose a Recreational Jazz class. 

Boost your fitness and your movement skills.

Contemporary Dance bridges the gap between jazz and ballet, offering a fluid movement style, encouraging creative thinking and composition. This form of dance gives dancers the strength and control to move seamlessly in and out of the floor. The composition element encourages students to express themselves through movement. While it is less ‘rigid’ than ballet, contemporary still requires students to build a strong technical foundation. Our contemporary classes also fuse elements from the lyrical dance style, made popular by “So You Think You Can Dance”

Got stars in your eyes?

Does your child sing in the shower? Do they make up shows at home? Our musical theatre program is a fun mix of Broadway, Singing and Theatre. It delivers a mix of jazz, tap, contemporary dance, singing and acting skills. Students combine their love of song with dance in these energetic classes that focus on fun!

Get your toes tapping!

Learning tap dancing is ideal for those looking to improve their rhythm and make some noise! Training in tap technique helps dancers become more versatile and employable , our tap classes can help those dancers hoping for a career in musical theatre or anyone who has always wanted to give it a try. Mastering this style of dance can help with coordination, rhythm, musicality and agility. Classes are based on the Glenn Wood Tap Syllabus and are always enjoyable!

We understand that kids do want to try other things and don’t want to spend their lives at the studio. This is why our Performance Programs take place on just 2 days each week, have weekends free for birthday parties, family time and rest and where possible we work hard to structure their class times, to make sure they are home in time for family dinners, spelling words, home reading and cuddles.
