Located in Hallam, Independent Dance Studios is a renowned dance school offering a diverse range of classes for dancers of all ages and skill levels. With a focus on classical ballet, this studio provides a nurturing environment for aspiring dancers to grow and develop their talent.
One of the standout programmes at Independent Dance Studios is the Half Day Classical Extension Programme (CEP), aimed at young dancers who show promise and potential in classical ballet. Designed to save families from the hassle of travelling into the city for full-time training, this programme allows students to continue their regular academic studies in a secondary school environment while receiving world-class ballet training close to home.
Led by the accomplished Artistic Director, Nicole Jacobsson-Kneebone, the CEP boasts a professional and dedicated faculty. The team includes former soloist and teacher from The Australian Ballet, Justine Miles, as well as Pilates certified and studying physiotherapist, Kayla Murphy, and Russian and European Character Dance specialist, Elena Sanina. With a small programme size, students can expect one-on-one tuition and guidance as they receive over 15 hours per week of advanced classical ballet training.
The CEP is suitable for boys and girls in school grades 6 to 10, and it is split into two tailored levels: Level 1 for ages 11-14 and Level 2 for ages 14 and above. To join this highly sought-after programme, aspiring dancers must successfully audition.
Aside from the CEP, Independent Dance Studios offers a wide range of classes to cater to dancers of all ages and interests. Specialised pre-school classes introduce young children to the joy of movement, while ballet examinations through the Royal Academy of Dance (RAD) and the British Ballet Organisation (BBO) provide a structured path for advancement. The studio also offers classes in VCE Dance, contemporary, lyrical, jazz, tap, acrobatics, progressing ballet technique (PBT), and private coaching. Dancers looking to take their skills to the next level can join the competition teamwork, while those seeking a well-rounded approach may benefit from the studio's Pilates, limber, and body conditioning classes.
Independent Dance Studios prides itself on providing opportunities for students to showcase their talents on a professional stage. From traditional feature-length ballets to character ballets, students have the chance to participate in memorable and impactful performances that further develop their skills and stage presence.
