Centrestage provides training in state-of-the-art studio facilities and classes in all forms of dance (Classical Ballet, Jazz, Tap, Contemporary, Hip Hop), Drama (including Film/Television electives), Musical Theatre and Acrobatics. Private lessons are offered in Dance, Singing and Piano.
SAFETY FIRST
All children within the organisation of Centrestage Performing Arts School have a right to feel and be safe. The welfare of the children in our care will always be our first priority, and we have zero tolerance for child abuse and bullying. We aim to create a child-safe and child-friendly environment where children feel safe and have fun.
This policy was developed with our staff, volunteers, and the children and parents who use our services. It applies to all staff, volunteers, children and individuals involved in our organisation. For more information, please visit the Commission for Children and Young People Victoria.
