Alan Watson Dance Class

The Alan Watson Dance Class has been conducted by Toorak Uniting for more than 40 years and has become a rite of passage for generations of Melburnians.

 

Here, Toorak Uniting provides an activity where teenagers can meet others of their own age and make new friends in a happy, safe and secure setting. Over the years the classes have expanded and many friendships have lasted until the present time.

​

Social dancing, including traditional and modern ballroom styles, is taught by a well-qualified, enthusiastic team of dance instructors. The classes are conducted from the floor and with the use of modern equipment staff readily establish a rapport with the students.

The young people attending the classes come from a wide range of schools and there is a unique mix of students which encourages the formation of new friendships. Each class is usually limited to 40 girls from Year 9 and 40 boys from Year 10. Classes are well supervised and students are issued with a laminated entry card incorporating a passport type photograph which is presented each night on arrival.

​

There are 8 lessons in each semester and the total cost including GST is $235.00. A non-refundable deposit of $50 is required upon enrolment application. Classes are not held over the school holidays, or while school camps take place and every endeavour is made to fit around school activities.
