About Us

‘Aspire Dance Studios’ is an exciting new business (established Jan 2008) which is operated by Studio Director Sarsha Pipia, where students are given the opportunity to learn dance in a safe and caring environment by an experienced teacher.

 

‘Aspire’ offers dance classes in various genres (2 1/2yrs+), for the student looking for Fun & Fitness or the Serious Dancer.  Students have the opportunity to participate in the Annual Concert, Examinations, Eisteddfods, Competitions & Performance Teams.  All of which are not compulsory.

 

We teach ‘Australian Teachers of Dancing’ (A.T.O.D. Ltd) syllabus for Ballet, Tap, Jazz & Hip Hop.   It is a highly accredited organisation which is now recognised not only in Australia but also overseas. 

 

 CONCERT

An end of year concert is produced annually where students are offered to participate and perform the skills they have learnt throughout the year, and to gain performing and stage experience.  We encourage all students to take part in this as it is a very enjoyable and memorable occasion for all involved.  Each concert will be recorded and available for purchase on DVD. 

 

EXAMINATIONS AND EISTEDDFODS

ATOD hold examinations throughout the year where students are given the opportunity to be assessed. Our main focus with syllabus work is developing student’s technique and enjoyment of dance.  We do encourage students to participate in examinations as this gives students a goal to work towards each year.  From this students will gain a sense of achievement when passing a level, which rewards them for the hard work, dedication and commitment they and the parents have put in.  Examinations also help students to develop and maintain a high standard of technique within the studio and for themselves. 

 

Eisteddfod work, both group and solo help to give students stage experience and develop their enjoyment of entertaining and performing.  However, these activities are optional and not compulsory.

 

ATOD COMPETITIONS

ATOD Competitions are held each year within QLD where individual students can enter a Ballet, Jazz, Tap, Hip Hop, Demi Character or National Character Dance.  Within the guidelines of the competition, students are to enter their examination routine which they have learnt in class.  This competition is open to all students sitting for examinations, however it is not compulsory to take part in this activity.
