GIVING your child the gift of a life-long hobby such as dance is a wonderful way to ensure they develop discipline, remain active and enjoy the social aspects extra-curricular activities bring to children’s lives.
With the new school year about to commence, enrollments at the Goulburn Valley Academy of Ballet are now open for the term, commencing Monday February 1.
The Goulburn Valley Acadey of Ballet teaches in accordance to the highly respected Cecchetti method. Learning through this syllabus ensures an outstanding foundation for any movement activity. Each year, ballet students get to perform a story ballet on stage such as last year’s performance of ‘The Blue Danube’.
Also available at The Goulburn Valley Academy of Ballet are Jazz classes. Characterised by energy and rhythm, these classes blend many dynamic forms including hip-hop, disco, funk and Bollywood dance. Jazz students also enjoy performances and last year performed an exciting and seamless blend of many of the hit songs of Queen called ‘It’s a Kind of Magic.’
For the pre-school set, ‘Dance Play’ is a great to start a journey in dance. Learning through fun and play, ‘Dance Play’ helps build co-ordination skills within classes that have engaging themes and props.
“I find it so rewarding to see the pleasure the students get as their skills and confidence grow,” The Goulburn Valley Academy of Ballet principal, Melanie Coats, said.
