Dance Classes Mont Albert North
Mont Albert North is a quiet, residential pocket, and quite a few local families first hear about KDA through word of mouth, a neighbour, a school friend, another parent at Box Hill sport.
Why Mont Albert North Families Choose KDA
Thirty-seven years is a long time to run a dance school on reputation alone, and for Mont Albert North families deciding between studios, that longevity tends to speak for itself.
Family Friendly, and All Welcome
We genuinely mean it when we say all abilities are welcome. Some of our Mont Albert North dancers are aiming for RAD exams and competitions, others are just there for the fun of Friday afternoon class, and both are equally at home.
Free Trial Class
A free trial class costs nothing and commits you to nothing. Just a real look at how your child settles into a KDA class.
What We Teach
Ballet (RAD syllabus): under the Royal Academy of Dance syllabus: elegant, precise, and a wonderful base of strength and coordination for dancers of any age.
Jazz: confident, expressive and endlessly fun, building rhythm and performance quality from Pre-School right through to Advanced.
Tap: sharp, rhythmic footwork set to music, a firm favourite for dancers who love hearing their progress as much as seeing it.
Hip Hop: fresh choreography and great music make this one of our most requested classes.
Contemporary: expressive, freeing movement that lets dancers tell a story with their whole body.
Acrobatic Dance (ADA syllabus): safely taught tumbling and flexibility work under our ADA certification, building real physical confidence.
VCE VET Dance: for senior students combining a love of dance with genuine, assessable VCE credit.
Yoga: relaxed, non-performance classes with qualified teacher Liliana, a calming complement to our more energetic dance styles.
Getting to KDA
Most Mont Albert North families reach our Blackburn South studio in around twelve to fifteen minutes via Belmore Road and Doncaster Road. Free parking is available on Baratta Street, just around the corner from the studio on Indra Road.

KDA has been family-run in Blackburn South since 1989 (over 37 years) with a long-standing team of experienced teachers rather than high staff turnover. Our two fully equipped, air-conditioned studios hold dual RAD ballet and ADA acrobatic certification under one roof, and we operate under a formal Child Safe Standards Statement of Commitment.
