The Off Centre team have their Working with Children Checks and First Aid certifications. All teachers follow our structured Minis & Little Monkeys programs to have the best capacity for growth in our youngest cast members.

With over 15 years experience in the Hawkesbury we have found that our preschoolers are able to immerse themselves within our programs by having minimal distraction and other noise within classes. Leading childcare experts support an independent learning model which gives your little one an opportunity to form bonds with other adults (program coaches) and their peers making your transitional milestones within their lives a breeze. We do have a waiting room onsite where we recommend you stay for the duration of lessons over the first few weeks at least as they transition into the programs and become more comfortable with those relationships and the lesson format.

Our all inclusive pricing model does take the pressure off what can be a stressful experience for parents new to dance and circus programs. Trial lessons may wear any comfortable clothing and joggers are great! When enrolling all you'd need to look at purchasing is the correct footwear for each style (listed below) and then we have the uniform and all costume hire for performances covered! Little Monkeys - No shoes, Minis: Tap - Black Tap Shoes, Ballet - Pink Ballet shoes, Jazz - Black Jazz Shoes

As your program tuition does not just cover the classes themselves (also covering inclusions and administration) and for the best consistency in relationships formed within lessons plus keeping our class capacities in mind Off Centre does not provide any makeup lessons. We encourage all of our students to attend classes each week and if they are missing lessons due to sickness or otherwise we just ask that you inform us of their attendance and look forward to seeing them the following week for more fun!

Off Centre has established ourselves as leading creators in the industry with the quality of our shows. These shows are held at both mid year and end of year points for our dance students and midway through term three for our circus students. Off Centre embraces a hybrid model where all cast members perform studio wide no matter their age. This means that you as an audience member can see not only something that is extremely entertaining but also see the path forward as your toddler paves their way through their performance journey. Off Centre inspires confidence in all performers through a nurturing environment within their lessons each week all the way to the stage. Please note that throughout the shows age appropriate music and costuming is used. Throughout the year opportunities may also arise for performances within the community however Off Centre is non competitive so students do not participate in dance eisteddfods at any age.
