WHILE the hills are alive with music, dancing, jazz, tap and ballet are ever increasing in popularity.
One of the leading outlets for dancing requirements is Dancewear Central, formerly Monbulk Sporting and Dance.
The business has been owned by Deborah Edge for the past 10 years but changed its name to better reflect its main focus of expanding and specialising in dancewear.
“While dancing is fun, it also provides many health and fitness benefits,” said Ms Edge.
“It will develop your poise, posture, balance and muscle tone, confidence, coordination and rhythm as well as giving you stage and theatrical experience and increasing self-esteem.”
There are many dance, callisthenics and gymnastics schools in the hills area and Dancewear Central has information on their classes.
It also keeps information on tai bo, tai chi, aerobics, karate, yoga, Pilates and personal trainers in the area.
Dancewear Central stocks leotards, ballet skirts, warm-up tops, cross-overs, dance pants (full and three quarter length), dance shorts, tights and stockings, along with footwear for ballet, jazz, tap, ballroom dancing, belly dancing and stage work.
They carry all the best dance labels such as Bloch, Energetiks, Danskin, Fiesta, Paul Wright and Capezio.
Footwear for flamenco, Irish, callisthenics and rock‘n’roll is also available on request.
Dancewear Central also caters for all sporting needs stocking swimwear such as Speedo, TYR, Rival, Sunseeker and Palazi all year round.
There is a wide range of sporting and casual footwear and outdoor shoes. Equestrian supplies cover horse rugs, jodhpurs and riding accessories.
So, call in to Dancewear Central for all dance and sporting requirements. If it’s not in stock it can be ordered in.
