Prepare for Your First ClassDoes my child need previous dance experience?
No. Beginners are welcome.
Skills are broken down and taught step-by-step so students can build confidence, coordination and strong foundations at an appropriate pace.
Your child does not need to walk through the door already feeling confident. Confidence is something they can develop through training.

The regular DFC Hip Hop program currently includes:
Ages 4 to 7: DFC Mini Movers.
Ages 8 to 14: Kids and Junior Hip Hop.

A one-off $70 enrolment fee applies when joining and includes the DFC uniform shirt.
View Memberships and PricingWhy does DFC include two Hip Hop classes each week?
Dance skills build through repetition.
Training twice each week gives students more opportunity to remember choreography, strengthen foundations, build fitness and feel increasingly confident in class.
It helps students progress instead of spending each lesson trying to remember where they left off.
Understand DFC ProgressionWhat makes Dance Fitness Complex different?
DFC is not built around simply learning routines.
Students develop genuine Hip Hop foundations while also working on confidence, focus, courage, character, movement, skill and performance.
This structured approach forms The DFC Method™.

View Location and DirectionsWhat if my child is shy or nervous about starting?
It is very common for a child to feel unsure when trying something new.
Arriving a little early allows your child to meet Tanya, see the room and settle before the class begins.
They are not expected to know everything or participate perfectly in their first lesson.
Read Your First Class GuideHow do parents stay updated about DFC?
Important updates are shared with DFC families through direct communication such as text and email.
Parents also have access to the DFC Parent Success Centre™, which brings important studio information together in one Convenient place.
Visit the Parent Success Centre™Can my child try Hip Hop before joining?
Yes. In fact, that is the recommended way to start.
The $19.99 trial gives your child the chance to experience the class, meet Tanya and see how they respond before you make an ongoing membership decision.
Book a TrialDoes DFC teach breakdancing?
Yes. Breaking foundations are an important part of the DFC Hip Hop program.
Students are introduced to age-appropriate floorwork, footwork, shapes, strength work and skill progressions.
Skills become more challenging as coordination, strength and confidence develop.
Does Hip Hop include Tricking and is it safe for kids?
Yes. Tricking is included as part of DFC's broader movement development.
Skills are taught through age-appropriate progressions with students developing strength, control and coordination before progressing.
Tricking works alongside Breaking and other Hip Hop foundations rather than being treated as random tricks.
Is the DFC Performance / Conditioning class open to new students?
No. DFC Performance / Conditioning sessions shown on the timetable are by invitation only.
New students should start in their regular age-based Hip Hop class.
Additional training opportunities can be discussed later if Tanya feels they are appropriate for the student's development.
