Plié are proud to be both Active Kids & Creative Kids providers!!!

Plié prides itself on offering professional and caring staff, a wide variety of subjects and affordable rates. Plié has studios in St Ives, North Sydney & Cromer. All students have the opportunity to perform twice annually, at our mid-year ‘Concert’ and our end-of-year ‘Concert’ (although entirely optional), and talented students might be invited to join our competition teams!

Plié has a friendly and fun atmosphere, with classes to offer for both serious dancers, or for those who want to participate for fitness and enjoyment. There is something for everyone!

Starting from pre-schoolers all the way up to high school students. We even have an adults class!

Classes offered include jazz, tap, ballet (Cecchetti), hip hop, lyrical/contemporary, musical theatre, tumbling, competitive cheerleading & OzDance.

Plié is most famous for our community feeling- students and parents enjoy friendships and form a strong support network- such important elements to encourage sportsmanship amongst our dancers, and create a sense of belonging. Students should not only reach their personal best in dance, but also benefit from increased confidence and social skills.

Plié staff share a commitment to training students to have solid technique as well as encouraging performance skills and creating a happy & safe learning space. Our staff all foster inclusion, team work, positivity, and encourage a supportive environment for all our students & their families.
