Whether you start dancing to become a professional or just for a fun, interactive hobbie, PPDC teachers can guide you along the way. Students are offered many styles of dance classes and are also given oppurtunities to perform at Eisteddfods and yearly exams, however neither are compulsory.
Students can participate in as many or as little classes they choose. Classes are well structured to have a good balance of hard work and enjoyment. Discipline is maintained in all classes while ensuring students are well trained and taught to dance to the best of their ability. Teachers dedicate time to all students in each class, helping each one to achieve their personal goals. Many great friendships have been made during classes at PPDC and there are certainly more to come. PPDC have no expectations that all children are to compete in Eisteddfods with the choice always remaining yours and under no circumstance will you be treated differently.
Kindermovement is for all the little people who love to dance and perform. They generally have no inhibitions when it comes to being on stage. PPDC enter sperformance teams into Eisteddfods in this age group with Cuteness having a huge impact. They are just starting to learn technique and coordination with emphasis put on fun and learning to take direction from their teachers.
Parents can join in with their tinytots in this class.
This is a pay as you go class as we understand little people and know it isn't always going to be a great day.
Singing classes teach breathing and warm exercises through to advanced singing. The Performance Team attends weekly singing classes , which is displayed on stage at Eisteddfods. Their Singing has gone from Strength to Strength under the guidance of Fiona, who encourages her students to give 100%. That dedication holds PPDC in great stead when performing in Song and Dance Sections with judges often commenting on the students attention to detail.
There are limited spaces available for private Tuition if desired. $15 per lesson
Limited spaces are available by invitation for Performance Team Members to attend private lessons to learn and perform solo work.
Time Restrictions mean the spaces are limited, but you are able to express your interest to the principal & availability can be advised. The students chosen to do solo work are expected to participate in a minimum of 2 Eisteddfods per year. The teachers put a lot of hard
work into choreographing routines along with weekly solo lessons, if
the children aren't committed with practising at home or dancing on
stage then perhaps this isn't the right direction for them to take.
If no practise is completed at home, each week with the teacher is used up to remember routines as opposed to perfecting them.
Whether you have or haven't danced before it is never too late to join our relaxed tap or jazz classes that offer loads of fun.
Routines are performed at the annual concert and depending on participants at the local Eisteddfods.
Men and Women are welcome to join this group with weekly lessons being held outside of work hours.
Tap is an exciting form of dance in which dancers wear special shoes equipped with metal taps. Tap dancers use their feet like drums to create rhythmic patterns and timely beats. Beginning tap dance classes focus on learning single tap steps, then
incorporating the steps into series of combinations.
Ballet is the fundamental basis of all dance and is critical for any student wanting to become a talented professional dancer. Clas-ses focus on correct technique, body alignment, positions of arms and feet and core strength. Students begin with barre work then progress through to leaps and pointe work.
