The purest form of uninhibited movement is dance - free flowing, expressive and dynamic. Learning to move your body to the music is an artform and a sport.
Emma Whybird, Director of Edge Dance Studio Whitsunday, understands the devotion and passion it takes to transform dance into performance and imparts this knowledge to her young students every day.
From two-year-old ‘Little Gems’ to 18-year-olds considering a professional career, Edge Dance can teach any level and any style – from jazz to tap, hip hop to acro, modern and musical theatre.
Celebrating their first year in business, the dance students will be holding their inaugural concerts this November and have been practising all year to fine tune their routines.
“It’s been an amazing year. We have children who have been dancing for many years and those who have never stepped foot on a dance floor,” said Emma.
“For me, it’s all about building confidence. I love watching how the younger students look up to the older students. We have a great family atmosphere here.”
Edge Dance operate two studios, one in Proserpine and the other in Bowen.
Proserpine dance classes are held at the old St Catherine’s School building in a newly refurbished dance studio from Monday to Thursday every week.
Bowen classes take place Monday and Tuesday.
Edge Dance offer ‘Little Gems’ casual classes for 2–3-year-olds in Proserpine which are open for enrolments all year round.
Expressions of Interest are now being taken for anyone interested in joining in 2023. Free trial classes will be taking place this November.
