24.01.2022 TIMETABLE CHANGE: EFFECTIVE TODAY! Due to low enrolments this term, I have changed the time for the tiny tot dancers. Tiny tots are now at 4.00pm - 4.30pm. ... Please note: There is now NO junior class. Any dance families who have not contacted me to enrol; I will not be expecting you to attend today so unfortunately I won’t be able to offer classes for your child. Bookings are essential due to covid times. Thank you for your support Abby

21.01.2022 It’s dancing day I know there’s lots of things happening around the world regarding health at the moment and it is your decision if you decided to keep your child at home but Dance is still on, and if everyone could please remember their own water bottles that would be great Abby

21.01.2022 My son is currently raising funds for the Starlight Children's Foundation Australia. He is participating in their Sugar free challenge for the month of November, and has raised $670 so far As most of my dance families are aware, we have a history with utilising this amazing service when one of our children became extraordinary unwell in 2019. During his time in hospital, the starlight room made our son comfortable and provided a clinical free space for our family to visit. ... Last year our dance families helped us raise over $400, as part of the Ronald McDonald House Charities Australia. If you have something to give this year, it would be wonderful to help Kade raise more money in aid of providing children with loads of fun and happy memories during times they need it most. The link is attached for anyone who would like to give As a bonus, today is DOUBLE DONATION DAY, meaning each online donation received will be matched, dollar-for-dollar. https://sugarfreeme.org.au/kade-meredith

16.01.2022 Unfortunately, at this stage, we are still unable to open due to running in a community hall.

Expression of interest are welcome, and Gift Vouchers can be made available for the perfect Christmas gift Thank you for your wonderful support during this time, missing all my lovely dancers and their families, more than you all know Abby
