About Our Dance Studios
We are proud to be aligned with the International Dance Organisation (IDO) for Tap and Show dance training of elite standard students. For over 33 years, we’ve helped children around Victoria discover the joys of dance with our dance classes in Cheltenham. SLD is in it’s 37th year of business and most recently had some exciting news to share regarding our student’s recent successful trip to Germany for the IDO world titles. Whether your child would like to train professionally for a future career in the dance industry, learn team work and social skills, compete in solo work or to simply dance for fun and fitness, our teachers deliver quality training for every student that comes through our dance studio. See the latest achievements under News.
Each year SLD students are given the opportunity, if they wish, to travel in small groups to New York with the Principal, Sharon Lawrence, for 10 days of intensive classes at the most exciting “Steps on Broadway”, “Alvin Ailey” and “Broadway Dance Centre”. We also get time to see some great Broadway shows and take in some sites. If you’re interested in enrolling your children in our kid’s dance classes in Cheltenham, contact us today.
Past students working professionally here and overseas, began their journey and gained the necessary skills for the dance industry from the faculty at SLD.
