Ballet classes at QL2 are designed to enhance and expand movement capacity in young dancers. Typically, ballet is focused on refinement and control and depending on the syllabus, it can be strict in its stylisation. Rather than being confined to a particular syllabus, QL2 ballet classes are inspired by the Karin System of Ballet Training which is centred around the core principles of alignment, imagery, musicality and artistry. Ballet is recommended for all young dancers keen to increase their strength, flexibility, fluidity, control and refinement of the body in space.   

Tuesdays

Level 2/3 - 5:00pm-6:30pm (90 minutes)   

Level 1/2 - 6:30pm-7:45pm (75 minutes)  

Expanded practice is a weekly class in a different dance style each term that allows our young dancers to continue expanding their movement capacity - and keep growing their movement confidence. The inclusion of this class reflects contemporary dance as it is today, across the world – diverse, inclusive and amorphous.  

We are thrilled to announce a collaboration with Fresh Funk for our Term 1 Expanded Practice class - Commercial Hip Hop. Held in the A Block Theatre at Gorman Arts Centre and facilitated by Fresh Funk teaching artists, these classes will explore elements of this dance style, such as bounce, rock, and grooves, plus musicality and contrast. Classes are fun and energetic with an emphasis on individuality and experimentation.

Dress code: Participants are required to wear sneakers or other appropriate shoes for this class.

Tuesdays

Level 1/2 - 5:00pm-6:15pm (75 minutes)  

Level 2/3 - 6:45pm – 8:00pm (75 minutes)
