Bass Coast Ballet School
Bass Coast Ballet School is a non-profit community-based school operating in Bass Coast Shire.
Run by a committee of volunteers, the school has been in operation since 1997 and offers a range of dance classes suitable from 2 years of age to adults. Classes are offered in the genres of Ballet, Tap, Jazz, Hip Hop, Theatrical Jazz, Lyrical, Contemporary and Pre-Pointe/Pointe.
We pride ourselves on offering low-cost and small class sizes with skilled and qualified teachers. Many of our students have gone on to attend the Victorian Council of the Arts Secondary School or VCA Musical Theatre programs, and have progressed to Arts-based careers .
Bass Coast Ballet operates under an MOU with the
Wonthaggi Theatrical group:
sharing our venue, building and maintenance costs between us. We maintain strong links to local community organisations:
offering incursions to Bass Coast kindergartens/early childhood services, where children have an opportunity to try different dance genres.
We utilise local businesses for our photography, signage, and costume storage needs, and hire the Wonthaggi Union Community Arts Centre
for our end of year concerts.
Bass Coast Ballet School holds a Student Showcase Day mid-year,
where our older students can choreograph and perform their own work.
Our younger students also participate in this day through teacher-choreographed performances. The highlight of the year for our students
is our annual concert, which is held at the end of the year
and is attended by many friends and relatives.
Our dance school provides professional development opportunities for teachers and older students, supporting them to further their skills and experience. We are an important part of our local community, enabling social participation and community connections for families in Bass Coast.
