Canberra Dance Classes for Kids
Grow your child’s confidence through the world of dance
Term 3 is about to start and Canberra has a huge variety of dance studios with classes to suit any little groover.
Dance provides kids with opportunities to grow their confidence, take on new challenges (like getting on stage for the first time!!), make friends for life and most of all - have fun!
Here we’ve highlighted a handful of studios across Canberra to help you dip your toe in the world of dance. Let’s sauté in!
*Hint: If you’re curious about dance but not ready to commit, most studios will offer a trial session to see if your child enjoys the class before enrolling into the term. In most cases you won’t be required to dress your child in a dance uniform for a trial class.
Some studios also allow you to join mid-term if space allows.
