Every child is different. Some are ready to perform on a big stage. Others just want to move, laugh, and make friends on a Tuesday afternoon. At HDF we've built three distinct pathways so your child can dance exactly the way that's right for them — and change direction whenever they're ready.

Frequently asked questions.

What age groups and skill levels do you offer classes for?

We offer dance classes for children aged 2.5 years through to young adults (21+ years) right here in Dural. Beginners are always welcome — no prior experience is required — and our programs are designed to support every dancer’s development at the right level.

How do I know which dance style is best for my child?

The best way is to try! We offer obligation-free trial classes so your child can explore different dance styles, from ballet and jazz to hip hop and tap. Our team is happy to recommend classes based on your child’s age, personality, and goals.

Can dance classes fit in with other sports and activities?

Yes! Many of our Hills District students balance dance with soccer, netball, swimming, or school commitments. Our Fun Stream is perfect for children who want to take one class a week while enjoying other activities, while our TEAM Stream suits dancers who want more training and performance opportunities. We’ll help you find a schedule that works for your child and family.

Are the instructors certified and experienced?

Child protection is a top priority. Yes. All of our teachers hold current Working With Children Checks and are fully qualified industry professionals, not just senior students. In our Ready Set Dance preschool program, teachers are also accredited through the official program, which is endorsed by early learning experts.

How do I sign my child up for a free trial class?

You can book a free, no-obligation trial class directly on our website using the “Free Trial” button — simply select a class, enter your details, and we’ll be in touch with more information. You can also contact Gabriela by phone or email if you’d like personal assistance.

What should my child wear to their first dance class?

Comfortable, fitted clothing they can move in (like leggings and a T-shirt) and bare feet or ballet shoes are perfect for their first class. There is no need to purchase a uniform before enrolling. We’ll provide full uniform details once enrolled.

Can I watch my child’s class?

To ensure an optimal learning environment, parents are not permitted to watch regular classes unless invited by the teacher. However, the final week of each term is open for parents to observe and celebrate their child’s progress.

We also have a large CCTV monitor in the waiting room so you are able to keep an eye on progress in each class.

Younger students, especially in our READY SET DANCE program, focus better without distractions. However for children who feel timid at first, parents are welcome to watch the initial class to help them adjust

What happens if we miss a class?

We understand family schedules can change. Make-up classes are available where possible — just let us know in advance so we can help you find a suitable time. For Ready Set Dance preschoolers, swapping between available class days is also possible (though we recommend consistency for comfort and routine).

Will my child get the opportunity to perform?

Yes! All students perform in our Annual End-of-Year Concert, held in a professional theatre. TEAM Stream students also compete in eisteddfods and perform at local community events. Private lesson students may prepare solos for additional performance opportunities.

Do you operate out of your own studio space?

Yes! The Hills Dance Factory operates from our very own purpose-built studios in Dural, located at Unit 19 / 252 New Line Road. Each studio is fully equipped with professional sprung floors, mirrors, sound systems, and CCTV for parent peace of mind. Families love our welcoming space that feels safe, inspiring, and designed for dancers of all ages.

What happens after the free trial class?

Just let us know if you would like to continue with classes.

You can complete the enrolment process online via our Parent Portal which we will arrange and then you are all good to go.

Where are you located and which areas do you serve?

We are based in Dural, with students attending from all over the Hills District including Castle Hill, Kellyville, Cherrybrook, Pennant Hills, Glenhaven, Rouse Hill, Bella Vista, Kenthurst & Galston.

What happens if we miss a class?

We understand family schedules can change. Make-up classes are available where possible — just let us know in advance so we can help you find a suitable time. For Ready Set Dance preschoolers, swapping between available class days is also possible (though we recommend consistency for comfort and routine).

Will my child get the opportunity to perform?

Yes! All students perform in our Annual End-of-Year Concert, held in a professional theatre. TEAM Stream students also compete in eisteddfods and perform at local community events. Private lesson students may prepare solos for additional performance opportunities.

Do you operate out of your own studio space?

Yes! The Hills Dance Factory operates from our very own purpose-built studios in Dural, located at Unit 19 / 252 New Line Road. Each studio is fully equipped with professional sprung floors, mirrors, sound systems, and CCTV for parent peace of mind. Families love our welcoming space that feels safe, inspiring, and designed for dancers of all ages.

What happens after the free trial class?

Just let us know if you would like to continue with classes.

You can complete the enrolment process online via our Parent Portal which we will arrange and then you are all good to go.

Where are you located and which areas do you serve?

We are based in Dural, with students attending from all over the Hills District including Castle Hill, Kellyville, Cherrybrook, Pennant Hills, Glenhaven, Rouse Hill, Bella Vista, Kenthurst & Galston.
