The Lakes College Dance embodies the College values of Faith, Hope, Love, Community, Courage and Justice. The high expectations of the College regarding student behaviour, uniform, respect, safety, effort and punctuality are also expected of any student involved in Dance.
TLC Dance fosters a sense of community and comradery, and develops resilience, determination, discipline, teamwork, commitment, organisation and an understanding of personal presentation. In addition to this, TLC Dance offers students the ability to develop lifelong friendships with students across all year levels at The Lakes College.
All classes and programs at The Lakes College are held in our wonderful dance studio, equipped with a professional dance floor, ballet barres, air conditioning, and floor to ceiling mirrors.
