Junior Explorers
Your dancer will be captivated as they embark on the creative and enchanting dance journey that begins as soon as they step through the door. The smile on their face as they introduce your 3 or 4-year-old to basic dance movements. These include but are not limited to hopping, skipping, galloping, jumping and turning.
As well as these fundamental movements our Dance Explorers also learn to follow instructions and take turns while making dancing memories with their peers. All of this is learnt while guiding our Explorers to enhance their love of dance.
These classes are limited to 12 students so that they do not feel overwhelmed and are able to enjoy the first steps in their dancing journey. We have two classes during the week in school hours, and two classes on Saturday morning.
Once our Dance Explorers turn 5 we offer a full syllabus of bbodance ballet classes and we also offer Junior Musical Theatre and Jazz lessons from age 6.
​
Price starts from $50.00 per month, for each 30-minute class.

"From the time my daughter began dancing with Miss Sara, she was always made to feel welcome, supported, and taken an interest in.
Miss Sara takes the time to get to know her students well, helping them to realise their potential, and is a great mentor for teenagers, although equally as amazing with preschoolers!
The school has a very positive, friendly, inclusive, warm atmosphere which is portrayed in both the students, teachers and families. I would recommend Sara Anderson School of Dance to anyone who has a child who loves to dance.”
