Program for children aged 2.5-4.5 years

ATOD Ltd has developed a syllabus to introduce small children to the magic and fun of mime, music and dance.

The program includes activities that will enable the children to explore space, to develop musicality and to improve co-ordination.

In the assessment the children are assessed on participation and involvement in the lesson. The children are not assessed on dance technique, ability or timing.

Levels 1 - 12

This is a comprehensive and beautiful syllabus that progresses systematically and is delightful to teach.

The syllabus was designed in 2002 by the Classical Ballet Core Committee which includes well known Ballet Teachers and Examiners including Graduates of The Australian Ballet School.

Level 1 onwards. Program for children aged 5 years & above.

Move forward with the Complete Jazz Class Syllabus.

Our new and innovative system of training encompasses all styles from foundation Jazz to the very latest Moves. The focus and continuity of the jazz class and the training and development of students does not need to change in order to prepare students for examinations.

Beginner Levels 1, 2, 3

We aim to make Ballet & Jazz accessible to dancers of all talents, ages and body types using innovative teaching technique preparing for balances, turns and jumps in ways not taught in the traditional dance class.

At this class, you will learn the preparations which make a world of difference. Learn what really matters when you start to move. Bring your dance clothes so you can take class. When you wish, just sit and observe. To dance is to live life all over again!
