  • With two amazing purpose-built dance studios in Carnegie and Oakleigh, we're bringing that same dedicated dance attitude to even more of you!

What do we stand for?

  • Inclusion. Our students and families are our CODE family, where everyone is welcomed and valued
  • Premier dance technique and training. We value each dancer being the best they can be, through leading training from experienced dance teachers
  • Individual Development. We understand the individual needs of each dancer and support them in reaching their goals

Why dance?

It is the perfect after school or work extracurricular activity that not only keeps you fit and active but also gives you the opportunity to build amazing and long-lasting friendships. You can learn a variety of skills from musicality to technique, all whilst participating in a supportive and exciting dance environment at CODE.
