Learn for any level of dreams

FOR fun-filled classes in jazz, tap, ballet and funk, book in to Stirling Dancers in Lilydale.
Owner principal Melissa Stirling takes special pride in giving students every option possible by catering for everyone.
“Both girls and boys of all ages are welcome,” said Ms Stirling.
“We also offer ladies classes at Stirling and ensure that students have a fun-filled time as well as receiving training in different areas so they have some idea of which dance style or styles they prefer.
“This assists students if they wish to continue dance and take it to a higher level.”
In conjunction with the Australian Teachers of Dancing (ATOD), Stirling offers exams for the first half of the year and a concert in December.
“Students have the chance to participate in exams, competitions, festivals and other variations of dance which I had the chance to do when I was younger,” said Ms Stirling who has been dancing and training for 18 years.
“With a lot of hard work and persistence, I am able to live out my dream.
“I have competed in many competitions and won many awards and would like to pass these skills and a love of dance on to my students.”
Stirling Dancers is at 57 Alexandra Road, Lilydale.
Classes are held 4pm-9pm Tuesdays and 4pm-9.30pm Wednesdays, commencing on Tuesday, 6 February.
For further information and enrolments, contact Ms Stirling on 9735 3119 or 0411 457 764.
