NDIS
Dance can be a great way to work towards your NDIS plan goals. We work with self managed and plan managed participants, and we discuss pricing with each person individually and in confidence.
How dance helps with your plan goals
- Getting out into the community. Private lessons build the skills and confidence to join our group classes and social dances, where you dance alongside everyone else.
- Making social connections. Partner dancing is all about connecting with people in a friendly, welcoming place.
- Physical health. Dancing builds balance, coordination, strength and fitness, without feeling like exercise.
- Memory and concentration. Learning steps and remembering sequences keeps the mind active.
- Confidence and independence. Learning something new, practising it and seeing your progress week by week builds confidence that carries into everyday life.
Private lessons, tailored to you
Nearly all our students learn through private lessons, so we are used to shaping each lesson around the person in front of us.
After every lesson we email a short report: what was done and what comes next. We can send it to family members, plan managers, support coordinators, physiotherapists or psychologists, whoever you choose.
Everyone who supports you can also have access to the booking system to view, change or cancel lessons.
From private lessons to group classes
We see private lessons as the way into the wider dance community. Your teacher builds your skills and confidence one on one, then helps you join our group classes, with your own teacher beside you where you need it.
Getting Started
1. Get in touch. Tell us about your goals and the support you need. We’ll talk you through pricing.
2. We liaise with your plan manager and support coordinator, so everyone is on the same page.
3. We sign an NDIS service agreement with you or your representative, tailored to you. You can read a sample service agreement.
4. We book a regular weekly lesson time for you. Regular private lessons are the key to steady progress.
5. Please avoid last minute cancellations. Your teacher’s time is set aside just for you. Unless we agree otherwise, our standard practice is 72 hours’ notice to cancel a lesson.
6. Bring your support worker to your first lesson, or let us know beforehand if you won’t have one.
