Welcome to City Dance Centre, Melbourne’s premier dance centre for professional and adult classical ballet classes
Being Melbourne’s premier adult dance studio, City Dance Centre offers classes for all levels of dancer, from absolute beginners through to professional dancers. Specialising in classical ballet, our classes are delivered by professional instructors with extensive experience in teaching and performing.
Classes are timetabled throughout the day with the morning classes geared to professional dancers or advanced students. At City Dance Centre, we understand how hard it is to maintain a classical standard if you are not attending a school or dancing in a company full time. With that in mind we strive to accommodate the dancer with classes that further develop technique, enhance stamina, and encourage artistic development.
For adults with little to no ballet experience – it’s never too late to start! For adults returning to dance from childhood ballet classes or for adults that have never attempted barre exercises, City Dance Centre has classes at various levels designed to support your experience. Our adult evening classes are open classes, however, are structured around the capability of the dancer. If you are unsure of your ballet level, please contact us and we would be happy to help guide you to the correct class. Booking is not required for any of our classes.
City Dance Centre offers private classes and coaching to improve ballet technique, prepare for examination solos, or for professionals refining their repertoire.
City Dance Centre is spreading our wings to have Junior school in 2025!
We are going to run classes for future ballerinas and artists from February 2025. We will be offering classes for 4-18 years old with training of Australian Conservatoire of Ballet syllabus.
