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 varies depending on the length of the term and class. A standard 12 week term costs $190, which works out to $16 per one hour class. All students in ongoing courses pay a $30 annual registration fee each year. For more flexible enrolment options, including casual and multiple class passes, check out 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 Contemporary or even dancing before, or are 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). 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 too old for this class?
You will not be too old, regardless of your age! Our instructor is completely qualified and will teach you the basics at various paces so you can choose one that suits you. It is never too late to learn, and this is an ADULT class so all ages above 18 welcomed! Do remember that the Contemporary style does usually involve some floorwork.
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!
