Penrith Ballroom Dance is a Registered Provider for both the Active Kids and the Creative Kids programs.
Penrith Ballroom Dance offers a fantastic and enjoyable experience for children with their weekly specially designed children’s classes where they are taught correct technique and movement.
Children who ballroom dance learn the qualities of respect, teamwork, self-confidence and a sense of joy and accomplishment.
These fun-filled classes are for children aged from 4 years up to and including Year 12 aged students. The classes cover the three styles of Ballroom Dancing – Modern Standard, Latin American and New Vogue Sequence Dances.
