Turning Pointe Academy of Dance

Established in Sydney, Turning Pointe Academy of Dance is a sports club dedicated to nurturing the love of dance in students of all ages and skill levels. With a team of highly-trained and experienced staff, the academy offers a wide range of dance classes in various styles, ensuring a comprehensive and well-rounded dance education for all students.

One of the highlights of Turning Pointe Academy of Dance is its Classical Ballet programme, which follows the Royal Academy of Dance (RAD) syllabus. The RAD is the largest education and examination body of Classical Ballet worldwide and its qualifications are highly regarded. The syllabus is designed to carefully develop students from Kindy & Pre-Primary to vocational study, with assessments conducted annually by external RAD examiners. This programme not only focuses on classical ballet but also incorporates national and contemporary dances, providing students with a diverse vocabulary of traditional and modern styles.

In addition to Classical Ballet, Turning Pointe Academy of Dance offers a dynamic Musical Theatre programme in Jazz and Tap. Jazz dance, also known as modern or jazz ballet, is a popular performance style often seen in musicals, commercials, and music videos. It is important for jazz dancers to have a strong foundation in ballet technique, and this programme aims to develop versatility and breath in students' dance education. Tap dance, on the other hand, utilises the sound of tap shoes hitting the floor as a percussive instrument, making it a unique form of dance and music.

The academy's Tap programme caters to students of all ages, allowing them to explore this rhythmic and expressive style.

Turning Pointe Academy of Dance also offers the innovative Progressing Ballet Technique (PBT), a comprehensive body-conditioning and strengthening programme. This programme focuses on training the muscle memory required for various dance exercises, helping students improve their technique in all forms of dance. Not only does PBT enhance each individual's ability to perform at their best, but it also aids in injury prevention and rehabilitation.

With a commitment to excellence and the love of dance, Turning Pointe Academy of Dance is a leading sports club in Sydney that provides a nurturing and supportive environment for students to develop their skills and achieve their personal best. Whether a beginner or an experienced dancer, everyone is welcome to join and experience the joy and artistry of dance at Turning Pointe Academy of Dance.
