Who are we?
- CODE stands for Centre of Dance & Exercise, and that is exactly who we are! As a dance academy, we eat, breathe and live dance
- With our origins in East Bentleigh, we at CODE have established ourselves as a one-stop-shop dance studio for all things dance, with dance classes in a range of styles for all school ages, in a variety of streams to suit every dancer
- With three amazing purpose-built dance studios in Carnegie, Oakleigh and Mordialloc, we're bringing that same dedicated dance attitude to even more of you!
What do we stand for?
- Inclusion. Our students and families are our CODE family, where everyone is welcomed and valued
- Premier dance technique and training. We value each dancer being the best they can be, through leading training from experienced dance teachers
- Individual Development. We understand the individual needs of each dancer and support them in reaching their goals
Why dance?
If you are looking for a great and nurturing environment that will help you build confidence, performance skills, memory and fitness, dance is a great way to do so. It is the perfect after school or work extracurricular activity that not only keeps you fit and active but also gives you the opportunity to build amazing and long-lasting friendships. You can learn a variety of skills from musicality to technique, all whilst participating in a supportive and exciting dance environment at CODE.
