They will enjoy the music & movement whilst making new friends and having fun. Parents are more than welcome to attend the class however, the class can run without parental involvement and is sometimes advisable so that the children have the opportunity to interact with one another independently.

	Competitions There are many competitions that you can enter here in Perth (or Australia wide if you like). Competitions are a great way of gaining extra performing skills whilst enjoying the buzz and the excitement of the competitions. These classes also have the oppurtunities to perform at other functions throughout Perth during the year.

	Exams Exam classes are the best way for your child to gain a greater understanding of the fundamentals of dance. Classes are generally smaller and are structured to work on the basics of dance through to the more difficult steps as the grades go higher. Students can sit exams in Aug/Sept at the studio with an outside examiner and receive medals, certificates and reports on completion of a grade. Students can also work towards a teaching diploma at the completion of ALL exam grades.
