25.01.2022 Ballet inspires so many things, but did you know it inspires confidence? As children learn to work toward goals, they feel a sense of accomplishment when they reach them. They also gain tons of confidence from performing on stage.

24.01.2022 While we understand the need for caution the restrictions on Dance Schools are not logical. Dancers have known how to socially distance for a very long time, its built into our classes automatically.

24.01.2022 A few photos from last nights concert filming. Great job Ladies & gents. Lets hope tonight goes as well as last night.

24.01.2022 Our Flat dance teachers reminding our students that good grooming is important even for zoom classes.

23.01.2022 We loved having students back this week. The studio has been way to quiet and empty without you. Thank you for abiding by all of the restrictions we have in place to keep everyone safe. Classes will continue during the school holidays so see you next week.

22.01.2022 It's star wars day!!!

22.01.2022 Night one of In house performances is done. This is very it how we thought we would be celebrating year 35 but we pulled it together and you looked fantastic.

22.01.2022 We are sorry to announce that we have cancelled classes for the remainder of the term until further notice. We urge all of our families, friends and dancers to stay healthy and safe. Current fairies please check your emails for more information, it may be in your junk mail

21.01.2022 A huge congratulations to Miss Amber this weeks superstar. Miss Amber has received a scholarship from Victoria University. Amber is studying Osteopathy. Amber has been a member of our Classique family for a long time and is a great role model for all of our students.

20.01.2022 Throwback Thursday. I think this was from the early 90’s

20.01.2022 In today’s modern world, ballet teaches our students something so very important: dedication. Things are so instant in this day and age. But ballet takes time. It takes time to make it to the next level, to be able to perform a certain dance on stage well. There are so many times when a student may not get the part she or he wanted. But they stay, learn to still work hard at the part they did get, and try again for the next show. Ballet teaches our youth to keep showing up and keep trying. It’s true, ballet isn’t instant, but it teaches something so important: dedication.

20.01.2022 When children enter a Fairy Ballet class, they aren't just stepping into any ballet class. They get to BECOME part of the fairy tale as their dance activities take them through a fairy tale story--all while learning proper ballet technique, making friends, and having fun! Tuesday 4.00-4.45 3-5 yrs. Contact us to book a trial class. https://app.classmanager.com//classique-school-of-da/login

20.01.2022 If you have to wear a mask it may as well sparkle

18.01.2022 Our Flat dance teachers had a busy day.

18.01.2022 Classes resume online this week. The timetable is the same as last term. Don't forget this week is Disney week.

18.01.2022 MEDIA RELEASE (IMMEDIATE RELEASE): VICTORIAN DANCE SCHOOLS ON VERGE OF COLLAPSE Despite the fact dance is the most popular after-school activity for girls in Victoria, the government have all but ensured the collapse of dance schools through a litany of on-the-run policy decisions being made by bureaucrats with no understanding of the industry. Today, while a large portion of regional Victorian businesses celebrate by opening their doors, nothing has changed for regional stu...dios as they teach online in empty buildings with no COVID cases in their towns all because dance schools have been inexplicably categorised alongside gyms. Dance schools need to be reclassified immediately, and those with students aged 18 and under to reopen in line with schools. They are a unique industry that provides vital wellbeing, social and physical health to young Victorians. Dance schools across Victoria have been frantically adapting their businesses since March, and have been doing it without government support. A recent survey from Ausdance Victoria shows over 50% of dance schools had not received a single cent of support from the Federal or State Governments, because of their business structure. The recent sole trader grant of $3000 is the first support these studios have received, and is a tragically small amount of money given many businesses have been shut since March and $3000 barely covers a few weeks of rent in a commercial property. The survey also shows a staggering 92% of studio owners across the state are worried that their business will not survive until March 2021 these businesses are people’s livelihoods and this statistic alone demonstrates that the dance arts industry has been woefully supported by all levels of government. - Dance is the most popular after-school activity for girls in Victoria (source: Australian Sports Commission 2017) - Over 150,000 children attend a dance and performing arts studio each week (source: ABS 2016) - Dance provides physical and mental health benefits. Even one dance class can help reduce depression (source: University of Hertfordshire 2014) Quotes attributable to Mike Harrison-Lamond Chair, Dance Arts Alliance ‘This is a disgraceful way to treat an industry that provides incredibly important social, physical and mental development in the lives of young Victorians.’ ‘In June the Victorian Government acknowledged us as a low risk activity and we went back in line with schools. Now they think we are the same as gyms, it makes no sense’ ‘Children can learn dance in their local primary or high school, yet a professional school can’t open to provide the same service’ ‘Dance schools contribute $300m a year to the Victorian economy and we support teachers, independent dance artists, theatres, dancewear shops, and other related retailers. This is not a hobby industry, we are an important part of Victoria’s economic landscape’ Contact: Mike Harrison-Lamond 0420 301 309 [email protected] See more

18.01.2022 Did you know that dance is the best form of exercise for your brain? This is no surprise to us. https://www.facebook.com/worldeconomicforum/videos/844794005901222/?fref=mentions&__xts__%5B0%5D=68.ARCbdGQQUwnGjXhNpjyoS7bffw-MGgdgN5gF6CEW2wVIaN9eFnw2q9HJ7dFCji5jzcG-h8RPPkcnNbNB12OPGn98no7o-LDcNf6pJOkRG077dP8tpMetYp8pNv6ve8IRB2BiOHGa50_4oupNZ-YK7vawp18UW_2bKx7Awd0Zs-mw5q19mOTL5hZsrQjBtBMhkQh6J3RVwojbaalgRdnIHugS0AxzHBwjVWhsaT6eczFoQN8D7A_R0thMnoKr0L3vLxpOxiFN-_MvJL3Ecj7nicQ0mfcP03_IAqvLV1SwmSlzSZjn6oqEi_A65ErSsCGzL1kF8l73tjZpv_HKL4G0hT1-vrroN8YmJkxa07buhz_sEVXGDKyc6l2WmH6FHCuDf-4h2y1CJd6TQmbKM5nxMBNVD0En7tQP1j3ANkgwQwyHvNHvuPyJu-gWLzx_XL7i7zC4sPYR21uo4UsO54RUeysYUmGsZ-ZeLZ6D8TaWrfNJeM4AGwHPsOO86xuOKQ&__tn__=K-R

16.01.2022 The benefits of dance are just a great for boys as they are for girls but we get that boys don't want to be always be in a class with their sisters. Message us or call 0403133103 for more information

16.01.2022 Even for very young ballerinas, ballet teaches us how to be strong. As our students work toward goals and accomplish them, they learn what strength they have in them. But what happens when they work hard but fall short? Maybe it just isn’t their day. Maybe a performance didn’t go well. Maybe a classmate can already do the splits or a pirouette and they are still trying. Believe it or not, it’s when we try for something, don’t succeed, but keep trying that builds the most incredible strength. Ballet teaches our young students to work hard for something. It teaches them to reach for their dreams. It gives them strength.

16.01.2022 Our flat dance teachers have been showing their adventurous side lately.

16.01.2022 In light of recent developments we have decided to cancel our Family fun day next week. We know our families and friends will be disappointed however the health and wellbeing of our community is our priority.

15.01.2022 We had an absolute blast on Wednesday night. We celebrated 3 weeks of being together in person again. Please check your emails for information regarding our Online classes. Stay safe, stay healthy and see you online this week.

15.01.2022 Dance classes provide an important support system for our students. I'm glad we can be helpful in these trying times. "My flat dance teachers encouraging me not to have a mental breakdown whilst doing practice exams at home."

14.01.2022 For some of us dancing is not an option it's part of who we are. https://theconversation.com/rhythm-on-the-brain-and-why-we- -

14.01.2022 Please help get our dancers back to class.

13.01.2022 Classes are still starting back tomorrow as the changes in restrictions have not had an impact on us. The health and safety of our students and teachers is of utmost importance to us and we have very strict procedures in place to keep everyone safe. We are very excited to see all of you again.

13.01.2022 It's nearly time! Due to the easing of restrictions there has been a change to our procedures. Please keep an eye out for the email outlining these. We are so excited to see you all next week.

13.01.2022 One of the young ladies in this video is a friends 22 year old daughter, she is working in a covid-19 clinic. She is putting herself at risk everytime she goes to work. I know it is difficult to keep children entertained but please stay at home and follow all the social distancing guidelines. Lets make life easier for our health care workers. #stayathome

12.01.2022 Friday night saw the final 2020 parent performance and the final ever performance at Classique. After 35 years I have decided it is time to retire as being a studio owner. I would like to thank all of the parents who have entrusted me with the chance to teach their children and share my love of dance. It has been a privilege and honour to be part of your lives. I hope that anyone who has ever been part of our Classique family has as many fond memories as I do. We are in final... negotiations for someone to take over the studio. It will continue just in a different way. The new owners will be in touch with you all shortly. For my beautiful students don't be afraid of change, remember caterpillars change to become butterflies. Embrace the change and become butterflies. I am going to stay and do what I love most... teach ballet. I look forward to seeing all of your successes in the future. Miss Michelle See more
