Bays School of Dance

💡Exam season is here at Bays - so let's demystify the process!

A dance exam typically includes:

📚 Set exercises (barre work, centre exercises)
📚 Set dances choreographed for that level
📚 Sometimes free movement or improvisation
📚 An examiner from outside the studio assessing the work

What examiners look for:
🩷 Technical accuracy for the level
🩷 Musical understanding
🩷 Performance quality
🩷 Appropriate posture and placement

It's NOT about perfection - it's about demonstrating understanding and readiness for the next level. Our teachers prepare every student thoroughly! 💃

🩷 Does your little one light up when music comes on?
Do they spin around the living room?
Are they ready to try something new?

Our preschool classes (ages 2-5) might be exactly what they need!

✨ Small, nurturing classes
✨ Experienced teachers who LOVE working with little ones
✨ Age-appropriate, play-based learning
✨ Building confidence one class at a time
✨ Concession cards available - no stress if they're sick!

3 classes for $15 - try us out with no long-term commitment!

THROUGH THE YEARS: Ballet 🩰✨

From tiny Pre-Primary feet to Advanced dancers owning the exam room.
Ballet has always been the heart of what we do at Bays.

Look at these incredible dancers - past and present - and see how far a pair of ballet shoes and a whole lot of dedication can take you. 🩷

Tag a dancer who’s been part of this journey! 💃

👟✨Tap dancers make music with their feet - and that's one of the coolest things we do at Bays!

What sets great tap dancers apart:
🖤 Clean, clear sounds (not just fast feet!)
🖤 Musicality - knowing WHERE in the music each sound belongs
🖤 Weight placement and control
🖤 Rhythm accuracy

Our tap program runs from preschool all the way through to advanced exam levels.

Even if your child has never tapped before - it's never too late to start! 🩷
