Welcome Everyone.
It is 2022 and we are ready to get back into our studio and get dancing again.
2020 and 2021 have thrown many challenges at us but we have become stronger, resilient, adaptable, caring, understanding and patient because of all these restrictions and lockdowns.
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 as per Victorian Health guidelines.
We know that things are still fluid 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.
