Class Timetable | bombshellacademy

Term 1: January/February 2021

We are so excited to announce our first term for 2021! You’ll find classes to suit all levels of experience with a very exciting performance opportunity available for every class! We’re also thrilled be able to expand to 5 nights a week with new classes, new tutors and a SHINY NEW VENUE!

That’s right, we’re reconnecting with our Metro Arts fam at their brand new home in West End. This space is shiny and new with floor to ceiling windows, a brand new sound system, a semi sprung floor perfect for dancing on and – wait for it – AIRCONDITIONING!

The brand new Metro Arts also has a purpose built state of the art theatre that we will be presenting our graduation shows in as soon as social distancing regulations allow.

To keep you all safe, we’ve adopted a number of measures in the studio that you’ll see reflected in our timetable as well as reducing class sizes overall. To maintain a healthy environment please help us by:

Waiting in your car or in the courtyard until the time of your class. No one will be able to congregate in the foyer before or after class
Take note of the class times – only one class is permitted to be in the studio at a time. We will completely empty the studio before swapping over classes. Please be patient and wait for your tutor to call your class in and don’t crowd your fellow students.
Please be mindful of where you place your bags. Use the perimeter of the whole studio to place your things so we can be suitably distanced at all times.
Please do not share costumes, water bottles, props or shoes during this time.
Our motto is “Get in, dance, get out”. Please do not congregate or chat in close groups in or around the studio.
If you are displaying any cold and flu symptoms including but not limited to fever, sore throat or cough, please do not come to class.
If you have been overseas or in contact with anyone returning from overseas within 14 days, please do not come to class.
If you have visited a designated COVID19 Hotspot or in contact with anyone returning from a designated COVID19 hotspot within 14 days, please do not come to class.

In order to facilitate the upgrade to a more sophisticated venue and maintain smaller class sizes, you will notice an increase in our course fees. This is our first increase in many years, but please keep in mind that multiple courses paid together in one transaction will continue to receive a 10% discount with the code MULTIDISC entered on checkout.

Thank you so much for your ongoing support and understanding while we keep everyone safe.

Check out all the details below and join us for some glamour, giggles and glitter!

If you have a dance or performance background, one or two terms of beginner may suffice, though you’re welcome to take as many beginner classes as you choose as the routines change each term.

OPEN/ALL LEVELS: Suited to absolutely everyone! Once you’re comfortable with your skills learnt in Beginner classes, move to Open classes to try new styles and develop further. If a Beginner class doesn’t suit your schedule, start with an Open class.
