Ballet provides a strong technical foundation for all ages. Velocity follows the Ballet Conservatoire syllabus, which is based on the Russian method of ballet and was developed by former Australian Ballet Principal Artist, Christine Walsh. Students have the option to participate in exams every year. For those who want to train at a more serious level, and those who wish to be part of Velocity Competitive teams, ballet is a must do due to the strong technical and discipline focus. For these classes, ballet shoes are worn and girls’ hair in a bun.

Jazz is always a popular class choice. Encompassing a wide range of styles, it is a fun and energetic class, whilst still focusing on good, strong technique. In jazz, students will learn quick footwork and expressive body movements. Students wear jazz shoes, which are a fitted leather shoe with a thin rubber sole.

Hip Hop is a street style dance class. Students will have fun in this free, funky and high energy class. They will learn hip hop techniques you see on many music videos. Students wear sneakers to Hip Hop classes.

Lyrical is an expressive dance style that combines the technical foundations of ballet and jazz moves. Our lyrical classes also cover contemporary dance techniques. In lyrical students will learn to express emotion and musicality through their movements. Bare feet or specialised turning shoes are worn for this class.

Velocity follows the highly regarded Glenn Wood Tap Syllabus. Tap shoes with metal plates on the ball and heel of the foot are worn allowing children to make music with their feet! Not just a lot of fun, tap helps develop great rhythm and timing. Students can participate in optional exams each year.

Performance quality is a big focus in our musical theatre classes. Dancing and performing to songs from musical theatre shows and movies, students have so much fun in this energetic and upbeat class, where everyone on stage and watching has a great time.

Our acrobatics classes focus on floor acrobatic and tumbling skills. Students will work in a class suited to their ability to allow for focused attention on the skills and technique at their level. Skills start from things like cartwheels, as they progress to walkovers, aerials and then on to even more advanced tumbling skills.

Our technique classes are designed to strengthen and stretch with a focus on correct technique, at all levels and abilities. Students will work on their core skills such as flexibility, balance, control, jumps and turns.
