25.01.2022 GUESS WHO'S GRADUATED TO POINTE? All four levels of pre-pointe completed! Well done to Phoebe.. You have worked so diligently towards this program and you have been patient through injury. All the hard work has paid off. You are stronger and more prepared now for the next progression of your dance journey.

25.01.2022 A special shout out to MONTANA HARRIS who graduated from our Elevate (Senior) Program in 2020, as well as finished high school and received a call back for her HSC Dance Composition! A call back is a selection of exemplary performances and projects from HSC dance students across NSW. This is an outstanding achievement! Montana Harris has been at the studio for nearly a decade and has studied in Ballet, Jazz, Contemporary & Hip Hop in that time completing her Graded Ballet Ex...ams to Grade 8 and achieved up to Advanced Foundation status. You may see Montana around the studio in 2021 in our new 'Ignite' program for Advanced Dancers. We congratulate you Montana on your wonderful achievements throughout the years, & especially 2020. Here we are celebrating at 8 on Trinity where Montana was gifted with two tickets to Australia's well-known 'Bangarra' Company's up-coming performance. Montana was a member of the Bangarra Youth / Junior Company whilst she attended school and was school captain in Year 12. Montana has decided to study Primary School Teaching at Newcastle University. Dream big lovely lady and all the best for a fantastic 2021! xx

17.01.2022 Spring into spring with Dance Classes! Its not to late to enrol for 2020. Hear what some of our adults are saying; "Returning to ballet classes as an adult has been such a wonderful thing. I always walk out of a class feeling energized and confident yet relaxed and de-stressed. Whilst I may not have the skills I once had I always feel encouraged by both teachers and fellow students in such a fun supportive environment" -Kathryn Morgan "I have been dancing at FSD for over 14... years, and it is so good to have adult classes to explore! I used to dance in other studios that didn't have any adults and although I enjoyed it, it is so much better to participate in an adult specific group! We share plenty of laughs, (even when we have to be on zoom) and support each other as we develop friendships and co-ordination together!" - Eula McKane Tell us a bit about yourself!

15.01.2022 "C'EST LA VIE" is the title of our End of Year Productions 2020. Translated to English means - 'Such is Life!' We felt this was a fitting title for this years show as we reflect on all that has been... We are very fortunate & delighted to hold our Covid-Safe performances this year in TWO shows at the Rathmines Theatre & Arthouse Wyong. Our students have worked so hard despite spending three months online learning. Whilst things were shut down and the 'arts' industry struggle...d, we soldiered on continuing with their weekly training, examinations and now our Productions. We even joined an online competition because we could not meet in person. We are proud of each and every dancer who has conquered through the madness, set and achieved goals, discovered new solutions and not given up and just kept going. This year will be a year that we shall all remember for sure!

Each class is an opportunity to try new things and channel energy positively. SIGN UP HERE! https://mailchi.mp/bf063bb522f4/boys-dance-program...

Does your son love to dance but would prefer to be in a BOYS only class? Well here it is! Announcing our NEW BOYS PROGRAM! Specifically designed just for boys, these classes aim to cultivate an encouraging and positive environment whilst being challenging & fun! Running as an Introductory course for five weeks only. No registration fees or uniform requirements. Check it out here! https://mailchi.mp/bf063bb522f4/boys-dance-program #boysdance #boyswhodance #boysdance2 #boysdancetoo
