In acro classes, students work on their flexibility and learn acrobatic skills that can be incorporated into dance routines. Some of these skills include chin stands, cartwheels, walkovers, and aerials.

We are very proud to offer special abilities dance classes to both children and adults. At Vibe Studios, we believe that everyone deserves to love dance. Our All Ability dance lessons are very interactive. We work to enhance the gross and fine motor skills of all participants whilst having lots of fun at the same time.

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.

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). 

At Vibe Studios, we learn the Cecchetti syllabus. Cecchetti is an internationally recognised system of training which offers:

• a gradually built, sound ballet technique while encouraging a love of music and dance

• a graded, developmental syllabus, relevant to today’s children

• a system to suit the young beginner right through to the pre-professional dancer

• further opportunities with specialised master classes by leading professionals

• exclusive competitions throughout the year

• a high standard in its teacher training program

• extensive continual professional development opportunities for its teachers

• assurance that teachers hold the qualifications necessary to correctly educate both the recreational student and the dancers of tomorrow.

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.

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

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.

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.
