Explore the World of Dance at Careen Dance Studio with a Free Trial Class
Welcome to Careen Dance Studio, where a passion for dance has been nurtured and celebrated since 1986. Founded by Carol Booth and Maureen Cole, we take pride in offering a wide range of dance classes that help students not only develop their dancing skills but also build self-esteem and confidence.
At Careen Dance Studio, we offer an array of dance styles to cater to the diverse interests of our students. Whether you're into Jazz, Hip Hop, Classical Ballet, Tap, Neo-Classical, Lyrical, Acrobatics, Strength & Conditioning, or Contemporary dance, we have something for everyone. Students also have the opportunity to pursue exams under the syllabus of the State Dance Association (SDA) and can work towards their Teacher's Diploma. We hold exams twice a year, providing a structured path for those looking to advance their skills.
For those with a competitive spirit, we have Competition Troupes where students can showcase their talent and dedication. Invitations to join a troupe class are extended both verbally and in writing, ensuring that parents are fully aware of the commitment.
Over the years, many of our students have gone on to pursue full-time dance studies, a testament to the high-quality training they receive at Careen.
A little about what to expect in your free trial
We understand that dance is a lifelong journey, and it all starts with a single step. For the youngest aspiring dancers:
Fairytale Ballet - Dance Classes for 2-Year-Olds:
In terms 1, 2, and 3, we invite parents to stay in the studio with their children. This ensures a comfortable and nurturing environment for both students and parents. It helps with the smooth transition to our Tiny Tots classes where parents no longer stay in the room.
Tiny Tots - Dance Classes for 3-4 Year-Olds: Parents initially stay for the trial class, after which they wait in reception. This arrangement allows us to focus on the students and their progression without interruptions. If your child is shy, we offer a gradual transition where parents stay less and less each week, leading to a more independent experience.
Junior School Age:
For this age group, parents also stay during the trial class, and afterward, they wait at the reception. This approach enhances productivity and allows students to gain confidence and independence.
What to Wear for the Trial Class
For the trial class, we recommend that your child wears leggings and a fitted top with hair in a ponytail. Bare feet are suitable for ballet and jazz, and for tap, a pair of smooth-soled shoes is necessary.
