25.01.2022 New Blog Post! Sleep is a Superpower. Exhaustion is at its peak in December as the school year comes to a close and Christmas festivities ramp up.

21.01.2022 Oh Ellen, us too!

21.01.2022 Miss Olly is feeling excited for our online dance classes next week and seeing all her students! Her home studio is now set up ready to go (including some fairy lights of course). Who else has worked out their home dance space? #believedreamcreate

21.01.2022 Two of the main reasons why our uniforms are sourced from Energetiks: Sustainable fabrics and Australian made . check out this blog about how they develop new fabrics for dancers on our home soil.

21.01.2022 We are committed to promoting sustainable practices for all areas that affect our studio. We are proud to have over 80% of our uniform items made right here in Australia by Energetiks. Every little bit helps.

20.01.2022 Congrats Senior Troupe!!! 2nd place @southerndancefestival Go Team BDC! #happydance #believedreamcreate #bdcdancestudios #nutureselfworth

19.01.2022 For all you bunheads and balletomanes, heres the exciting news weve all been waiting for! What a fantastic appointment!

18.01.2022 How Can We Help? Its devastating on a national scale. The fires that are raging across Australia have spread with terrifying speed and we grow more and more concerned with every news report. Yesterday - although far from danger - our studio in Ashwood experienced an influx of smoke haze for the first time, really cementing the notion that we are all affected by these tragedies.... But a little smoke haze is not whats making me write today. Its the voice inside my head that keeps screaming at me: What can I do to help? One of BDCs three core values is our dream of promoting sustainable practices for ourselves and the world we inhabit. We do this in many ways, such as teaching students the difference between warm-up and flexibility training to avoid injury, providing recycling bins and using environmentally friendly cleaning materials. These are small things, though they add up. Now is a time of nationwide disaster, and we need to take action. It is vital that we give our children hope. It is vital that we give each other hope. But hope without action is futile. Hope plus hundreds of small actions can build to make a huge difference, and I believe this is where the change we so desperately need will come from. The most effective thing that individuals can do right now is to donate funds to the CFA to aid in supporting their efforts in this awful time. These heroes desperately need financial support to keep fighting the flames. BDC Dance Studios will be donating $1 from every student enrolled for term one, and I will personally match BDCs contribution dollar for dollar from my own personal finances. I have a relatively small audience of students and their families. The most effective thing I can think to do is to amplify this message, as so many Australians are currently doing. My request for you is simply to talk with your family and friends. Teach the value of small, effective contributions and the ripple effect they can cause. Teach people the value of how good it feels to contribute to something bigger than themselves. Dont let them be crushed by thinking they can do nothing to help. The small things all add up. Miss Natalie

15.01.2022 How is BDC handling the potential threat of Covid-19? We are checking in with the Victorian Department of Health and Human Services every day for updates. We will continue to run classes as scheduled for as long as possible, however if Victorian Schools are directed to close then we will be required to do so also. Our intention is to be vigilant about the hygiene of ourselves and our students in order to limit the spread of potential illness during such an uncertain time. If ...we are required to close our doors during term time, we will seek alternative ways for delivering class content. For now, our focus is to remain calm and act responsibly. When at BDC Dance Studios: We have three hand washing stations: One in the kitchen of the common area and one in each of our two bathrooms. Wash your hands with soap and water before and after every class. A small amount of soap and 20 seconds of lathering is effective in reducing the spread of harmful bacteria. What about sickness? If your dancer is showing symptoms of respiratory illness (coughing, sneezing, runny nose, sore throat) or any other potentially contagious illness, please keep them at home until the symptoms have passed. Students can book a make-up class when they have recovered. Students without the option of attending make-up classes are encouraged to contact their classmates to catch up on any content or choreography they may have missed. What if we have to close? We will cross that bridge if or when we come to it. We are collaborating with local and international dance schools to create effective ways of dealing with possible closure, and we will make an informed decision of how to progress if necessary. Heres a direct link to all the information provided by the Victorian Dept H&HS on covid-19. In a nutshell - wash your hands, stay home if youre sick, use reputable sources for updates and try to avoid the panic being circulated by mainstream media.

12.01.2022 It has just been announced that Australia is getting its own version of the controversial US show Dance Moms.
