At Ettingshausen’s Dynamic Arts you will find a veritable hub of experience and some of the most well-known and reputed teachers in the Sutherland Shire and indeed Sydney. Our specialist teaching faculty has a depth and wealth in their respective areas spanning performance, choreographic and teaching experience. This unique teaching faculty offers students a rare opportunity to learn, be nurtured and flourish at a studio leading the way in Performing Arts.
We understand that each child has a different interest in dance. Families too have varying schedules and commitments to consider. For this reason, EDA offers a range of streams to cater to each individual.
Recreational Classes
We offer recreational classes for students looking to learn new styles and techniques, improve their skills, develop their interest in dance in a relaxed, social dance atmosphere.
These classes perform in their own concert at our end of year concert at Sutherland Entertainment Centre and for some classes (Jazz, Funk and Cheerleading) have the chance to perform and represent EDA twice a year at Shark Park.
To see the list of styles that we offer for recreational students see our classes list under performing arts and classical ballet sections.
Competition Classes
These classes are for the more driven student also interested in developing skills and, of course loving dance but looking to extend themselves through participation in team performances at competitions throughout the year.
These classes are given a note at the beginning of Term 1 outlining as specifically as possible the commitment schedule of rehearsals and performances for the year. We require that parents/ guardians sign to recognise the commitment in advance to minimise changes during the year. Classes will then commence work on a competitive level of routine which will be performed at competitions and at the end of year concert. These classes are also involved in Shark Park performances.
Any students interested in competition classes are asked to come along for a trial lesson or two at the beginning of Term 1. Other students may be invited into these classes by the teacher through the year if they miss these trial lessons. The teacher will advise both parents and the individual student if we consider they are ready for the challenge of a competition class.
