14+ Year Old Dance Classes

Kids Dance Studio

14+ Year Old Creative Ballet Classes

Our 14+ year old ballet classes focus on extending all previous technique learnt in ballet. This develops into complex choreographies which range from traditional ballets like Swan Lake and the Nutcracker to more modern abstract pieces. We still maintain a creative approach at this age as we find that it continues to foster their love of dance and is a powerful outlet to positively impact their mental well being. We do not have uniforms at any age as the dancers all have different styles and personal expression which they are welcome to share at the studio.

14+ Year Old Jazz Classes

Our 14+ year old jazz class is our oldest group of dancers for this style. At this age however we do still take beginners, no prior experience is needed. The way we have our classes set up, and the methods in which we teach mean that dancers can join at any stage and ability. In this age group we are able to explore even more types of jazz from different eras. The range in styles and music is a lot of fun and the dancers end up finding styles that they had never come across before. Improvisation is really developed at this age and is fun to explore through jazz. This class is often taken combined with a different class style beforehand.

14+ Year Old Contemporary Dance Classes

Our 14+ year old contemporary dance class is a great way for dancers at this age to express themselves through a creative outlet, without any pressure that often dance can often have at this age. Contemporary is a free, flowing and expressive genre which allows the dancer to utilise the whole body in many movements, a lot of them using the floor. We teach the safe and necessary technique to ensure that floor work is done well, comfortably and safely for each dancer. 

This is a great class to come in and leave your day at the door regardless of what has happened, lose yourself in the momentum of dance and leave with a huge smile.

14+ Strength and Stretch

Our 14+ year old strength and stretch class is a 30 minute class focused on gaining strength, and mobilising the body. It is great for the dancers' fitness and wellbeing. The dancers learn about different parts of the body, how to strengthen them, and also how to stretch them. As well as increasing flexibility and strength this class is great for overall fitness. Many dancers' do this class alongside their other genres, classes for this age are placed before and after this class to make that possible.

We love this dance school! The teachers are wonderful, super engaging and have built a lovely connection with my 3 and 5 year olds. They create a warm and safe environment, where the kids feel super comfortable being them selves. So thankful to have found this place ❤️🙏

Eunhee KIM
My daughter has really been enjoying her dance classes with Larissa and her new friends! We recently moved to Melbourne, and CDS has been such a great support in helping her adjust to this new environment. I’m so grateful for the warm welcome and the positive impact it’s had on her.

The culture and environment at CDS is truly unique. Students know they will be challenged to learn and grow, but never pressured to move immediately out of their comfort zones. The facilities are top tier, with plenty of parking and room for parents to wait, both inside and outside in the gardens.

Teaching staff are amazing. The classes are a great mix of letting the students express themselves and be kids while also teaching them dance technique and keeping them on track. The end of year concert was wonderful. My daughter loves it here.

I absolutely love being part of Creativity Dance Studios! As both a student and a student teacher, I’ve had the chance to experience the incredible community firsthand. The teachers are incredibly passionate and skilled, and they create such a positive, welcoming environment for dancers of all ages and levels. It’s truly an amazing place to grow, learn, and share my love for dance.

My Daughter has been having classes with Larissa on and off for many years at this point... Her words ...It is a fun and positive enviroment where everyone is included.We get to learn how to choreograph differnt dances.Each year, they work towards putting together a showcase of all that they have learnt, so there is a goal for the students to work towards.Larissa and the team engage the students on the makeup of this performance so that they are all engaged and can help put their own 'stamp' on what is presented.Ok, Back to me...All in all, Larissa and the team work hard to make sure that they include everyone at whatever skill level. It is well worth sending your childen here, from the begineer, 'curious about dance' all the through to creative ballet, jazz and contempary.
Linda

The dance teacher really knows how to engage the kids and learning while having fun model is applied.I am so happy to see my kids enjoy the freestyle ballet at Flemington.
Jenelle Dandris
We have loved being part of the Creativity Dance Studios family. Our little dancer loves her teacher and is inspired by what is learned each week. She loves learning to dance, making friends and having a lot of fun as well. We as parents love to see her excitement and enjoy her performances at home. Our daughter still talks about the dance day camp during school holidays and of course the end of year showcase is so special. The Team at Creativity has always been available to answer any questions and a pleasure to work with. Well done!
Lisa McOrist
The dance class we were looking for. Creative dance studios provides a welcoming, encouraging, inclusive and supportive environment for the students. They feel comfortable and have heaps of fun. I recently went to the holiday program and was really impressed with how the older students were supported to take on leadership roles. Not only are they developing great dance skills but also great life and social skills.

We could not be happier to have found CDS. My daughter Emma is loving her first term of contemporary ballet. It is such a fun and positive environment with amazing instructors. Would highly recommend.
Peter Egan
I love the fun dances we learn and that we choreograph some stuff as well. I also love how the classes don’t need a uniform!Lucy💙💜🩵
Bethany Leong
My four year-old daughter was interested in doing a dance class, but she is quite shy and I wasn’t sure if she would want to join in. Her friends from kinder were at CDS and recommended it - it has been amazing! The small class sizes are great, and Miss Miranda is so kind and patient with little ones who have no dance experience.
Isaac Lowrie
Our son absolutely loves creative dance studios. The teacher Miranda is so warm and inclusive and the kids have a blast - great fun and for their confidence
Christine
We're so happy that we found CDS! My daughter is 9 and absolutely loves contemporary dance classes with Miranda. The atmosphere is welcoming and inclusive, and the focus is on the enjoyment of dancing and everyone working together (rather than on costumes, makeup and hairstyles!). Really looking forward to our first concert later in the year, and seeing what the dancers have been creating!
Craig Roberts
Our kids have been dancing here for years and continue to love it. The approach is relaxed (no make up, no fancy costumes, no performance pressure) yet creative and engaging and based in good technique. Absolutely recommend!
J FR
We are so fortunate that we have found such a fantastic place for our 12 year old daughter to begin her dancing journey. She loves her contemporary dance class and is keen to enrol in more!
Alena Dabrowski

Karen Tipping
My daughter loves dancing at CDS! She loves the freedom allowed in the class, working together to create dances in a fun but challenging way. I love seeing the dances they’ve been working on at the end of year show, which is such a relaxed affair (no costumes, no makeup, no hours long rehearsals..), its so enjoyable for the CDS community!
