Welcome to 2025 at The Dance Co.
Welcome Back!
We’re delighted to begin another year of dance with you. Whether you’re joining us for the first time or you’ve been with us for many years, 2025 is set to be a year of movement, music, and memorable moments.
Our schedule for 2025 is now finalised, offering a range of performances, competitions, workshops, and performances designed to inspire and challenge every student.
This year also marks two significant milestones: our Northern Beaches Campus celebrates its 10th anniversary, while our Eastern Suburbs campus proudly commemorates 70 years of ballet education.
Wishing you a fantastic year of dance in 2025.

Exciting news for Presentation Day 2025!
Over the past year, many families told us that holding Presentation Day at the end of Term 2 in June wasn’t ideal. With some schools breaking up early, others not, end-of-term exams, and holiday plans, the timing wasn’t working for everyone. We also know that many ballet exams fall just a few weeks into Term 3. So, we’re switching things up this year to suit your schedule better.
What’s Changing?
Presentation Day will now be held at the start of Term 2 in mid-May rather than on the final Sundays in June.
Save the dates:
Northern Beaches: May 18th, Manly Youth and Community Centre, Kangaroo Street, Manly
Eastern Suburbs: May 25th, St. Columba Uniting Church, Ocean St, Woollahra
