Balletclasses at QL2 are designed to enhance and expand movement capacity in young dancers. Typically, ballet is focused on refinement and control and depending on the syllabus, it can be strict in its stylisation. Rather than being confined to a particular syllabus, QL2 ballet classes are inspired by the Karin System of Ballet Training which is centred around the core principles of alignment, imagery, musicality and artistry. Ballet is recommended for all young dancers keen to increase their strength, flexibility, fluidity, control and refinement of the body in space.

Expanded practice is a weekly class in a different dance style each term that allows our young dancers to continue expanding their movement capacity - and keep growing their movement confidence. The inclusion of this class reflects contemporary dance as it is today, across the world – diverse, inclusive and amorphous.

In Term 3, we are excited to facilitate acro fusion with Natalie Wade.  

This high-energy class is designed to get you moving in bold new ways. Fusing traditional gymnastics and acrobatic skills with elements of martial arts, basic parkour, and partner lifts this class is designed to provide a physical challenge that pushes the boundaries of how you move.

Whether you’re flipping, rolling, vaulting, or lifting, you’ll be building body control, trust, and confidence in motion. This class is perfect for dancers keen to expand their movement vocabulary and discover a new physical edge.

Although you most often see her behind the computer, Natalie has a deep background in both gymnastics and dance. She is a highly experienced gymnastics coach, holding qualifications in Women’s Artistic Gymnastics, KinderGym, FreeG, TeamGym, and Advanced Tumbling. Over many years in Goulburn, Natalie coached young gymnasts, led tumbling programs, and worked as a dance teacher and Assistant Manager at the PCYC.

Dancers must wear fitted clothing for this class - nothing loose or hanging from the body as this will create hazards when you are upside down! Please attend regularly, more than two consecutive absences may prevent your ongoing participation.

Expanded Practice Y (a combination of level 2 and 3 students) - 6:45pm – 8:00pm (75 minutes)
