Class Styles

The Beau-Rock Ballet School is affiliated with the Southern Federation of Dance which offers progressive, up-to-date and examinable Jazz, Tap and Classical syllabi designed to develop musicality and quality of performance.

Each syllabus is challenging, stimulating and allows teachers to build on their student’s skills and sustain their interest in their chosen style of dance.

The sequential training system has been developed in Australia and incorporates the safest dance principles. By providing optimal outcomes for all students, each individual is able to achieve his or her best.

The Beau-Rock Ballet School is well known for infusing a strong contemporary style into our teaching. Students taking part in Production classes are introduced to this style from an early age and their learning can be further enhanced by attending open classes and entering eisteddfods. Our end of year showcase also takes on a strong Contemporary focus.

Performance - Production Classes (Troupes)

We offer Production Classes to all students studying classical ballet to help strengthen stage performance skills and technique. Students elect to participate - we do not select students for these classes and there are no auditions. The Production Classes develop troupe and gala performance works throughout the year.

There is often a strong Contemporary and Lyrical focus to these classes with Jazz as a secondary style. Students must be available for several competitions and eisteddfods throughout the year.

Please complete the online forms to register for these classes (current students only).
