Our Philosophy
We respect the value of childhood
We do not attempt to rush our students to adulthood. Careful selection of suitable music. Appropriate moves taught according to age group.
Make-up policy.
We promote a healthy body image
We focus on a dancer's technique, not his or her body shape. Sensible eating and dance training will naturally lead to a healthy body, so there is no need for dancers to obsess over this. We are very careful not to overemphasize the importance of diet and exercise, as this may cause anxiety and sometimes even more serious mental health issues for dancers.
We celebrate effort and improvement
We believe dance is essentially a cooperative activity, and we prefer to see dancers celebrating their own and the group's progress rather than comparing with others. For this reason we encourage participation in exams rather than competitions
We challenge gender stereotypes
We believe dance has benefits for everyone and are actively trying to increase the number of boys and men enrolled at our school. Our female dancers are not pretty princesses posing for a prince, they are strong and powerful protagonists in their own stories.
Dance Plus Studios is a family and community oriented school with a focus on celebrating dance as a performance art.
We aim to provide a friendly, welcoming environment which fosters a love of dance and supports all of our students to grow in health and happiness.
