Building Confidence, Technique & Passion
At The Hills Dance Factory in Dural, our Rising Stars program is designed for dancers aged 10 years and under who are ready to expand their skills, explore more styles, and grow their confidence both on and off the stage.
Choose the Right Stream for Your Child
Rising Stars students can join one of our three streams, depending on their interests and goals:
Fun Stream – Ideal for kids who want to enjoy dance alongside other sports or hobbies. Classes are once or twice a week and focus on fitness, friendships, and having fun.
Team Stream – Perfect for passionate young dancers who want to take their training further, gain stage experience, and represent HDF at eisteddfods and community events.
Ready Set Dance – Our award-winning preschool program (for little siblings aged 2–5).
Not sure which is right for your child? We’re always happy to guide you.
