Welcome to the Bungendore School of Ballet.
We provide classes in Classical Ballet (Royal Academy of Dance syllabus) and Jazz/Funk. Classes are available to students from 4 years and over. We currently offer classes in Bungendore and Braidwood.
It is our goal to provide high quality dance training in a fun and supportive environment to students in the Bungendore and Braidwood region. Students are encouraged to develop to their fullest potential regardless of ability levels. Dance training is a great way to develop self confidence and self discipline which students can then use in their schooling and later life.
We hold an open week usually mid year, when parents can observe classes. Please note that space is extremely limited so parents/grandparents only please.
Ballet
Classical dance classes comprise of teaching two main components, technique and artistry. Technical aspects are important in order for students to learn correct muscle usage, posture and placement in order to create a classical line of the body.
However along with developing the physical aspects of dance comes the very important development of artistry. Artistry encompasses the student's ability to respond to music, use of emotion and personality and the ability to perform. All students are encouraged to express their individual personalities through their dance and a huge emphasis is placed on learning how to present their work to an audience with confidence and expression
Jazz/Funk
Jazz/Funk classes are designed to teach both technique and performance skills. A typical class comprises of warm ups, strength and stretch exercises, short jazz combinations and a dance. Jazz funk is a great way for students to develop co-ordination, strength, flexibility and performance skills.
