Welcome Everyone.
It is 2021 and we are ready to get back into our studio and get dancing again for a long time, we hope.
2020 was a year that has made us stronger, resilient, adaptable, caring, understanding and patient. And also very thankful for the sacrifices that everyone has made to keep us all safe here in Victoria and Australia.
We all learnt some new skills via technology and adapted well to Zoom and You tube lessons.
Darebin School of Dance will continue to provide a safe environment for everyone by adhering to our Covid 19 plan and all the health and safety protocols that we have put in place since reopening on November 9th last year. We know that things are still uncertain but we will continue to provide a nurturing, friendly and relaxed environment so that we can all experience the very best of our dance journeys.
We will continue to keep you all informed and updated via our emails, facebook and instagram pages.

RAD BALLET EXAMS. These are held early in Term 3 and all students intending to sit a full exam are required to attend at least two ballet classes per week and attend the holiday seminar in the second week of the July school holidays. For those that do not wish to participate in the full exam, the RAD also offer the Class Award Presentation which still offers the individual student the opportunity to participate in the Examination experience, whilst working towards their full potential in a positive and encouraging environment. 
Fees for RAD Exams and Costs for Pianist will be advised prior to participation.
​Exam date for 2021 is TBA.

SDA TAP AND JAZZ EXAMS. These are also held late in Term 2 or early Term 3
This year our Exam Day is TBA. 
Solo Presentation Exams are held at the end of July and private lessons throughout term 1 and 2 will be offered to those that are eligible.
This SDA Presentation Day is a highlight of the State Dance Association year where eligible students from all SDA schools are invited to perform their solos. The day culminates in a Gala Evening of items performed by many schools who are members of the SDA. This is a wonderful day for our students who participate, a chance to meet new friends, and mix with other dancers in a friendly non competitive atmosphere.
