Our Classes
Cecchetti Ballet
CWDC is an accredited Cecchetti Ballet school, dedicated to upholding the cherished principles of the esteemed master instructor, Enrico Cecchetti. The Cecchetti Ballet syllabus provides premier dance training to aspiring dancers, teaching them purpose, artistry, and versatility. CWDC offers Cecchetti ballet classes from Primary/Grade 1, all the way through to Advanced 2.
Pointe
Following the Cecchetti syllabus, our pre-pointe and pointe program gives our students the strength and coordination needed to develop safe and beautiful pointework. With small class sizes and multiple teachers, we prioritise the safety of our students, developing their strength at the barre before they step into the centre.
Jazz/Contemporary
Our jazz and contemporary classes are combined into one class to expose students to a wider range of dance styles at a lower cost to parents. Our students love the variety they experience in these classes. Students enrolled in our jazz and contemporary classes will be exposed to a blend of techniques and styles, to develop increased flexibility, style, expression and performance skills, while learning a wide range of kicks, turns, jumps and rolls.​
Tap
We absolutely love tap at CWDC! Tap classes provide students with an opportunity to really strengthen their sense of musicality, being exposed to complex beats and rhythms while they dance. Tap classes also greatly strengthen a dancer's legs and feet, which will aid them in all styles of dance. Plus, tap classes are just so much fun!
