Generation Dance offer one PAID trial class to new students, meaning no large term fee payment payable before you are sure your child is going to love their class/es.
Our payments are fully automated so when you enrol for a trial you must submit a direct debit form. We will deduct the cost of the trial class once we confirm your child’s registration. Ezi debit will also deduct the $5.50 direct debit once off account set up fee. If your child does not want to continue after their trial class, there is nothing more to pay and your direct debit is cancelled. If you choose to continue, our office staff will roll you over to a permanent enrolment and will set you up on the monthly debit cycle. You can read more about this on our Fee Schedule and Terms & Conditions.

Classical Ballet & Lyrical
We often talk about ballet being our vegetables and our foundation for dancers... because it is exactly that! Classical Ballet is the foundation of all other dance styles and we recommend all students enrol in a classical ballet class, however this is not compulsory in the Recreational Stream. Technique, discipline, focus, strength, flexibility, posture are all just some of the things taught and learnt during our classes. The movements taught are graceful and soft.
Jazz & Hip Hop
Jazz is a high energy, fast paced dance style that incorporates body isolations, turns, kicks and jumps. Jazz can range from broadway style all the way through to commercial dance. It is quite a technical genre teaching strength, flexibility and stamina.
Hip Hop is one of today’s most popular styles of dance. Upbeat, fast, energetic movements to popular music incorporating all genres of Hip Hop dance.
Tap
Tap is an energetic dance style teaching students all about beats, rhythm and musicality. Students learn a full range of tapping steps as well as combinations and choreography in various styles of tap dance.
Acrobatics (flexibility, strength and tumbling in a dance specific structure)
Acrobatics classes consist of strength and flexibility work as well as a tumbling component. Perfect for those strong dancers who love being upside down or those hyper-mobile dancers who need to increase strength.
