ABOUT US

Our team

At Belmont Dance Centre (BDC) in Lake Macquarie, our teachers are skilled in a wide range of dance styles. Whether you’re new to dance or have years of experience (and hundreds of pairs of old pointe shoes!), we have a class for you.

From ballet and tap to acrobatics, troupe performance, and everything in between, you’ll find a class at Lake Macquarie’s leading dance studio. Just check out our timetable for more information!

We believe it’s our nurturing environment that sets BDC apart from other dance schools in the Lake Macquarie and Newcastle area. But don’t just take our word for it – look at our hundreds of happy students!

Our highly qualified and experienced dance teachers have taught some of the area’s best performers. Belmont Dance Centre alumni are currently dancing with both national and international companies, including Brent Street Performing Arts, Jason Coleman’s Ministry of Dance, ED5 International, the Hamburg Ballet Company, Hamburg Ballet School (Germany), and the Australian Ballet School.

While we’re dedicated to building the dance skills of our students, we’re also committed to mentoring our older students to become professional teachers. All of our assistant dance teachers are current students who bring the skills they learn in their own classes into the lessons they teach.

We believe having a passion for dance and a nurturing attitude are the two most important qualities of a dance teacher. Without these, you cannot expect students to grow. We’re here to watch our students grow from little dancers to confident young adults. Whether your child is new to dance or an experienced ballerina, our team of dance teachers is here to foster their passion for dance.

Amazing tuition for all genres but the most supportive environment

for students to achieve at their own level. Belmont Dance Centre has provided a family atmosphere for my daughter whilst teaching her the skills necessary to become a beautiful dancer.

The best family anyone could ask for! Not only are you taught Dance quality and technique at an advanced level, but taught manners and to be considerate of others and how to work as a team 🙂 BDC is a second family, as you learn and grow so much from what is taught and encouraged there ❤
