Life Dance Academy

Life Dance Academy At LDA we provide dance classes that are a fusion of jazz, hip hop and ballet, catering for toddlers Welcome to Life Dance Academy.

At LDA our aim is to provide dance classes that are a fusion of jazz, hip hop and ballet, in an environment that not only encourages the beginner dancer but helps dancers take their talent and skill to the next level. Our Tinwald studio is located at 58 Melcombe Street on the New Life Church premises. We provide a class that is warm, well equipped and encourages progression. Each year we provide t

wo performances, one at the end of term two and the second at the end of the 4th term. We feel it is important for parents to be able to enjoy what their children are learning and for the children to have plenty of opportunity to perform. Enrolments for classes are limited to ensure the best teacher/student ratio so please return your registration as soon as possible. Please note classes are subject to change due to demand but will be finalised well before classes begin each term

Are you looking for a fun, active activity for your littlest dancers? We have limited spaces in our Tiny Twisters and Dainty Dancer classes at Life Dance Academy.

Our Tiny Twisters class is designed for your little ones from 0 to 3 years. This class will be held on Monday mornings with the possibility of a Wednesday morning class depending on interest. Tiny Twisters runs for 8 weeks during the school term and costs $75.

We also have our Dainty Dancers class which has a few spaces available. This is the next step up for ages 3 to 5 years where you take a seat on the sideline and watch as your little dancer boogies away, assisting them as needed.

Our Dainty Dancer classes will be held on Monday and Wednesday mornings and runs for 8 weeks during the school term and costs $85.

If you are interested in enrolling for Term 1, please click the link to fill in our online wait-list form and someone will contact you over the next week or so.
