'All SDS students gain a love of dance for life.'

SDS is located in the Canberra suburb of Pearce in the Woden area and has been instructing students in the art of dance for over 15 years. We have wonderful caring teachers who instill sound dance skills to a high standard. Dance is our love, life and passion. We would love the opportunity to share some of the joy that dance brings to us with you and your child.

SDS offers classes to students of all ages from beginners to professional level. Our classes are structured around the individual student and offer the opportunity to participate socially in something that is both healthy, fulfilling and most importantly fun.

We offer classes in:

  • Ballet (RAD)
  • Tap (BAL)
  • Jazz (BAL)
  • Hip Hop
  • Cheerleading (Gymnastics Australia)
  • Lyrical
  • Contemporary
  • For more information on the dance styles offered by SDS visit our Dance Styles page.

All of these styles are unique and give students the opportunity to study something that is both fun and diverse. SDS also offers casual classes for Hip Hop, Jazz, Lyrical and Contemporary. Classes are held in two fully equipped studios and all teachers are fully qualified and passionate about dance.

SDS students are offered boundless opportunities to use their skills and excel both in exams, eisteddfods, various local and interstate competitions and the annual SDS concert. Further information on how SDS students performed last year can be found on the 2011 year in review page.

Students can choose to be trained to a professional level and some SDS students have gone on to dance professionally. Some students have furthered their studies at Australia's leading performing arts schools and some have performed in local productions such as Joseph and his Amazing Technicolor Dream Coat, Fame, High School Musical, Grease and Cats.

The team at SDS pride themselves in encouraging all students to enjoy their classes and to strive to be the highest standard they can be. SDS is located at the Pearce Community Centre above Kidsafe in Collett Place, Pearce.

Testimonials

I just wanted to send you and everyone involved in the cheer competition today a huge thank you. As first timers to the dance world we were embraced into the SDS family from the first lesson. I can't imagine a better studio to be a part of. All the girls did a fabulous job. We had a great time being part of the team and the help we received with make up, hair and just general advice was a credit to the studio.
