About
Dance QT

Is your child looking for a fun dance class? then try out Dance QT.

Dance QT offers open classes, exam classes and competition work.

Our classes will provide your child with performance skills, confidence, technique, rhythm and they get to learn new dance routines almost every week in a fun and friendly environment.

Dance QT offers Hip Hop, Jazz, Lyrical, Toddlers Ballet, Acro and Contemporary classes for 2-18year olds.

Brooklyns inspiration to teach comes from seeing her students gain confidence and a passion to express themselves through movement.

At the end of term 2 Dance QT puts on a mid-year showcase and at the end of term 4 a end of year show that every student gets to perform at!

Viewing of classes is only permitted for Toddlers Moves and Grooves on Wednesday afternoon, all classes above this level are closed classes as students tend to focus better without parents in the room.

Students should wait in the foyer outside the dance studio before class begins. If a student is under 8 years old, they must be supervised by a parent. The studio will open promptly at the scheduled class time, at which point students may enter. For the first class of the day, please wait outside the studio until the teacher is ready, but no earlier than 5 minutes before the start of class.
