Please note that this program will only operate based on interest levels and minimum class numbers required. *This is a separate club to the SSC Rep Dance program and therefore does not require students to compete on weekends or be part of any performances*.

The program will allow students to develop their dance skills throughout the term. The cost of the Recreational Dance Program is $100 per student, for the term of one class, e.g. a Kindergarten student who does Jazz/Hip Hop and Ballet will pay $200 as these are two classes for the term.

The following classes will be offered for these specific age groups:

Once registered, parents will be informed via email about what students should wear and where the classes will be held prior to the first lesson.

If you have any questions about the program, please do not hesitate to contact Ms Bryony Williams (Dance Coordinator): b.williams@ssc.nsw.edu.au
