Ballet is the foundation of dance and is the most technical class a dancer can participate in. We highly recommend ballet classes for those who wish to take their dance more seriously. In our ballet classes, students work on posture, breathing, balance, strength, flexibility, weight transference, and general ballet technique. The strength and control learned in these classes are an incredibly valuable asset to any dance style.

This is a fun and energetic workout class that fuses techniques from dance, pilates, and yoga together. It works on toning and defining the whole body. It utilizes the ballet barre and is the perfect combination of strength and flexibility.

Break dancing, also referred to as b-boying/b-girling, is an athletic style of street dance. It is typically set to hip hop music and consists mainly of four kinds of movement: toprock (foot movement performed from a standing position), downrock (floor-based footwork), power moves (relying on speed, momentum, and acrobatic elements), and freezes (halting all body motion).

Cecchetti Ballet Australia has been training ballet teachers and students since 1934 and is taught at many leading dance schools including the Victorian College of the Arts Secondary School and the Ministry of Dance. In these classes, students are taught set exercises that are aimed at developing their ballet technique. Students who are ready have the option of performing these exercises in front of a Cecchetti examiner at the Ministry of Dance. They receive a report that is written up by the examiner with a mark, as well as a certificate. Our Cecchetti program is overseen by Miss Claire, who brings a wealth of knowledge to our studio.

This is a fast-paced class that involves a lot of teamwork. The elements of cheerleading include stunting, tumbling, jumps, pyramids, and dance. You can expect to learn a little bit of everything in our cheer classes.

In this class, students learn to dance in high heels. They learn to do so in a commercial style that combines the styles of jazz and hip hop to produce the sexy and energetic style that is seen in video clips and commercial performances. It gives dancers a little bit more freedom and allows them to express their personal style.

Our contemporary classes are for those who are after something different. It is hard to define what contemporary dance is because it is so unique. It involves elements from all other styles of dance however has less structure and therefore allows the dancer to dance more freely and expressively. A contemporary routine can range from a soft, slow, and pretty piece to a fast-paced, sharp, and spooky piece.

Hip hop is a street dance that is primarily performed to hip hop music. The commercialisation of hip hop means that it can now be seen in film clips by music artists such as Chris Brown and Jason Derulo. Though hip hop is established in entertainment, it maintains a strong presence in urban neighborhoods which has led to the creation of street dance derivatives like Baltimore, jerkin', krumping, and c-walking. In our hip hop classes, students are taught a range of different elements to form an urban-focused routine.

For those that want to take their hip hop more seriously, we have hip hop troupes that students must audition for and be accepted into. Click here to find out more. 

Our jazz classes involve quick movements that match the fast-paced and popular songs that we love. In these classes, students work on technique, flexibility, and performance. You can find things like high kicks, turns, shimmies and of course jazz hands! 

The explanation of this class is all in its name! Students work on perfecting their kicks, turns & jumps that are found within dance routines by focusing on their technique. Students in these classes may also work on combinations and creative variations of basic kicks, turns & jumps. An example of some turning skills that may be of focus include pirouettes, fouetté turns, leg turns.

This is a very fun class that combines elements of singing, acting and dancing. In these classes, students practice these skills to soundtracks from popular musicals such as 'Wicked', 'Matilda' and 'Aladdin'. 

Pointe is traditional ballet. This class involves dancing in pointe shoes on the tips of fully extended feet. To take part in this class, dancers must have great ballet experience and must also see and gain approval from a physio and a podiatrist.

For dancers with a high level of ballet & jazz technique, we have pom troupes that students must audition for and be accepted into. Pom is a very technical dance style that focuses heavily on strength to create striking visuals. Of course, these visuals are created with pom poms. Click here to find out more.

This class combines the two styles of popping and locking. Popping is based on contracting and relaxing muscles to cause jerks in the dancer's body. Locking basically means freezing from a fast movement and "locking" in a certain position, holding that position for a short while and then continuing at the same speed as before. Our students learn the basics of body isolations and groves in their popping and locking classes. 

This class is for students who want to work towards dancing on pointe but are not quite ready yet. Students work on exercises that are aimed at strengthening and building upon their technique.

At Vibe Studios, we offer the Southern Federation of Dance syllabus in the style of jazz.
