A creative, interpretive and free-flowing style combining both ballet and jazz technique to produce beautiful and expressive routines. The style has been popularised by programs such as “So You Think You Can Dance”, and features narrative or thematic choreography, requiring dancers to express emotions and incorporate them into their performances. Contemporary dance is a great accompaniment to Ballet dancers as it teaches dancers how to use ballet techniques to extract meaning from dances.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost?
Cost depends on the length of your class, and the length of the term. For our full costings, yearly term planner, as well as information about casual lessons or multiple class passes, visit our
timetable page!
I've never danced or performed before - will I be able to do this?
Of course! Our open and beginner courses are designed for complete ADULT beginners who have either never learned before, or are perhaps coming back after an extended break from the style. Check the
timetable to see if a more advanced class is available for you. If you wish to perform, you can participate in a spectacular showcase at the end of each year.
Can I trial a class first?
Your first Lady Velvet Cabaret trial class is $15 so you can try before you enrol. Any subsequent trials (including trials of other styles) will be billed at the $25 Casual rate. If you are looking to attend on a more casual basis, you should consider our Multiple Class Pass.
The term has already started, can I still join?
Yes! We take enrolments at any time of year, (check out our timetable
here) with the exception of Term 4, where enrolments close at the end of Week 3 to prepare for our end of year concert. Fill out an
enrolment form and we will be in touch to confirm your payment and book you in for the remainder of the term!
Am I right for this class?
At Lady Velvet Cabaret, our studio is inclusive and everyone is welcome! Our adult dance classes are open to any persons 18 years of age or over. Adult students have always been welcome at LVC regardless of their age, gender expression, sexuality, prior experience, abilities*, cultural background, religion, weight or fitness level.
Intermediate/Advanced classes do have pre-requisites in terms of technical skills, however our Beginner and Open ability classes welcome any interested students. It’s never too late to learn, so please
get in touch to enrol, or find out more.
*Please note that depending on location, some lessons are not wheelchair accessible.
How long do classes go for?
Each class runs for 1 hour long each week.
What should I wear/bring to each class?
A comfortable top, leggings, 3/4 length pants or tights will be fine. You should be able to move comfortably (including on the floor) in your clothing. Please bring a bottle of water and a towel!
Will I get a discount if I enrol in other classes?
Yes! Enrol in two courses with us and you’ll receive 5% off your class fees. Enrol in three courses and you’ll receive 7% off your class fees. Enrol in four courses and you’ll receive 8% off plus your fifth course will be free!
What if I want to attend casually?
If you cannot commit to attending regularly, you should consider our Multiple Class Pass. Once your $30 Annual Registration fee has been paid, you can purchase either a 5 Class Pass for $110 or a 10 Class Pass for $190. Your Class Pass will allow you to enter any of our ongoing courses (not 6 week or one day workshops), provided they are not full. Class Pass holders will have to register at reception each session to have their pass stamped. If you’re interested in purchasing a Class Pass, contact us today!
