Dancers come to The Dance Gallery because we're different from �regular' dance studios. We understand that you as a high school kid need an afternoon out with friends. Come along, join in for a dance class or two with your BFFs, then head over the Gloria Jeans for a coffee before heading home. The Dance Gallery is all about you. We are Newcastle and the Hunter's ONLY dance studio dedicated to high school age dancers and young pre-professionals. If you're aged between 12 and 20 years of age and want to dance just for fun, fitness and friends or want to take classes that will guide you through exams and performance, The Dance Gallery has a class for you.

National College of Dance’s vision is to be recognised as the leading classically trained classical, contemporary and commercial training facility in regional Australia touching the dance community with our uniqueness, creativity, choreography, collaborations and training methods.

We used the Living Dance Curriculums: Living Dance Curriculums �Born of a passion to give our young people ~ a wholesome experience of dance in its original intention; from a Biblical worldview; and to give the joy & exhilaration of exploring and developing their gift as they train in dance. The Curriculums bring together a distillation of the world's best training methods in classical ballet based predominantly on a French method of training and Expressive Interpretive Dance; the keys to high level of technical expertise & understanding the body alongside the development of expressive abilities. We believe in giving positive feed back & recognition of the qualities in each child; developing creativity alongside technique; and allowing a child to be a child with wholesome and edifying class content and performances.
