About
Welcome to CaraBelle School of Dance, located in the beautiful suburb of Glen Iris. At CaraBelle, we strive to develop self-esteem, emotion, love, and confidence through the movement of dance. We are not just a dance school, but a community that cares deeply about the welfare of our students.
Our studio offers a range of dance styles to cater to all ages and abilities. We have Classical Ballet, which forms the foundation of our dance programme. For our youngest dancers, we have Tiny Tots Ballet, a fun and engaging class designed for children from 3 years old. Additionally, we offer Jazz and Lyrical Jazz/Neo Classical styles to further expand our students' dance repertoire.
Excellence is at the core of our teaching philosophy. We offer annual exams to provide our students with the opportunity to showcase their progress and receive recognition for their hard work. Ballet exams are conducted through the esteemed Laurel Martin, while Jazz exams are conducted by Teachers of the Australian Academy of Dancing (T. A.
D). These examinations are presented within class time under the guidance of our dedicated teachers.
Our Glen Iris studio is conveniently located at the Glen Iris Community Centre on Glen Iris Road. Classes are held on Monday nights, and we welcome dancers aged 3 to 17 years, as well as adults. One of the highlights of our school year is our annual concert held in November, where parents can enjoy their child's performances without the stress of costume making.
We also extend our warmest welcome to dancers in the Rosebud area. Our Rosebud studio is located in All Saints Anglican Church Hall on Point Nepean Road. Classes are held on Tuesday nights for dancers aged 3 to 17 years, as well as adults. We ensure that all our dancers have a positive and supportive environment to develop their skills and confidence.
To maintain the professionalism and unity of our dance community, we have a uniform policy in place. From Tiny Tots to Grade One, dancers must wear a pink leotard, pink skirt, pink crossover ballet tights, ballet shoes, and tan jazz shoes. Grade Two to Seniors have the option of wearing CaraBelle apparel such as singlet t-shirts, crop tops, shorts, hoodies, jackets, black leotards, black skirts, ballet shoes, and tan jazz shoes. We have partnered with Studio 7, Bloch Dancewear, Energetiks Dancewear, and Ballet Emporium to ensure easy access to all required dancewear.
If you're interested in joining our dance family or have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact Mrs. Cara at 0421 232 990. We look forward to welcoming you to CaraBelle School of Dance, where we nurture talent, passion, and self-expression through the art of dance.
