Our wonderful junior school faculty cleverly combine teaching the foundation technique in classical ballet, jazz and tap while still managing to keep the classes challenging and quick-moving.
Children will also discover their own voices and gain the confidence to sing in tune while learning safe vocal technique with our qualified singing instructors.
Best of all, our tiny dancers have fun meeting new friends and learning new skills in the structured and safe environment (always with age appropriate music and class content) that Theatre & Dance is renowned for

EXAMS
Preparing for dance exams develops strong dancers. Dance examinations give students the opportunity to learn a challenging dance syllabus, master it and then perform it for an examiner.
We proudly offer COMDANCE Ballet, Jazz, Tap and Musical Theatre Exams for all ages and levels.
All teachers at Theatre & Dance are qualified and highly experienced.
COMDANCE BALLET
The COMDANCE Classical ballet syllabus is based on a pedagogy of technique, musicality and artistry. New music has been composed and performed for the progressive grades by Michael Brett, pianist for the Western Australian Ballet Company. The Classical Ballet syllabi comprises the Foundation Grades Syllabus, Progressive Grades Syllabus and the Major Classical Syllabus. Pre Ballet offers an introduction into the joy of ballet, the six grades in the progressive levels build strength and technique and The Foundation Grades offer a scaffold on which to prepare and build students strength and performance between each of the progressive grades. There are also optional public onstage exams for students interested in classical performance.

CERTIFICATE III
IN DANCE
PARTNERED WITH EMPOWERDANCE,
T&D IS EXCITED TO OFFER
THE CERTIFICATE III IN DANCE.
The Cert III in Dance course gives students a great introduction to full time training and the performing arts industry. The course is only one day a week so students can complete this while still at school. If you are serious about becoming a professional, this course is a wonderful start to your career in addition to completing a Vocational Education and Training (VET) certificate which becomes a supplementary qualification towards your QTAC Tertiary Selection Rank.
This rank can be considered in addition to your OP but does not affect or change your OP (or the soon to be introduced Australian Tertiary Admission Rank system).
This course is 90% practical, in-studio time to ensure students are gaining advanced skills and technique in all genres of the performing arts industry. For those who desire a professional career in the dance industry in either training or performance or for those looking to improve their dance technique for personal gain this course is the perfect fit!
Applicants should have a strong basic training in at least two disciplines: Jazz, Contemporary, Classical Ballet, Hip Hop or Musical Theatre.
FRIDAY FUN
CLASSES
Welcome to Friday Fun at T&D! These classes are for children who are looking to keep fit, learn the fundamentals of Jazz dancing and express themselves through Musical Theatre. You have the choice to do just Jazz, just Musical Theatre or both!
Both classes are non-competitive so you don’t have to worry about the extra commitment of eisteddfods and dance comps, kids can just focus on the joy of song and dance without the pressure of competition. These classes are for children 8 to 12 years of age.
