OUR CLASSES
BALLET
Classical ballet is artistic and fulfilling genre which emphasises the importance of strong technique, as well as developing body awareness, length and strength, and better posture. Ballet is the foundation of all dance, we strongly recommend that all children take at least one ballet class a week as this ensures strong technique and progression across all genres.
We are the only dance school in WA to deliver the russian-style syllabus from the Australian Conservatoire of Ballet, offering exceptional technique and designed to suit the needs of all classical ballet students who are unable to take full-time dance training from an early age.
Children enrolling in ballet and wishing to complete their exams at this level must enrol in both and 'A' and 'B' class Children wishing to learn on a more recreational level must select from the 'B' classes. All children entering ballet in this program should enter the Primary level or get in touch if they have previous dance experience.
ACRO
Acrobatic Dance, or Acro as it is commonly referred to, is the beautiful fusion of classic dance technique and the precision and athleticism of acrobatic elements.EDI is an accredited provider of the world-reknowned Acrobatic Arts Syllabus. The program is based on safe and effective progressions with proven results in five divisions of AcroDance: Flexibility, Strength, Balancing, Limbering and Tumbling.

Benefits of tap dance include increasing cardiovascular conditioning, strength, flexibility, and coordination. Cognitive abilities are also enhanced, as tap dancers must develop both mental and muscle memory to become proficient at tapping.

Jazz dancing is a form of dance that showcases a dancer's individual style and originality. Every jazz dancer interprets and executes moves and steps in their own way. This type of dancing is energetic and fun, consisting of unique moves, fancy footwork, big leaps and quick turns. To excel in jazz, dancers need a strong background in ballet.
JAZZ
FLAMENCO
Spanish is an excellent introduction to character styles, and is a fun and expressive dance form. Not “just a folk dance”, Spanish teaches posture, poise, versatility and musicality while incorporating classical technique. Flamenco has been classified by UNESCO as “World Intangible Cultural Heritage”.
Eden teaches the Instituto de la Danza Española (IDE) syllabus. Founded by Deanna Blacher OAM in 1984, the Instituto has developed a regulated and examined syllabus for Spanish Dance students, and offers expert training for Spanish Dance students and teachers while providing performance opportunities and workshops with world-renowned artists. The IDE teaches all the Spanish dance genres – Flamenco, Classico Español, Folk and Escuela Bolera, while incorporating language, theory and historical knowledge of the Spanish dance forms.
At the junior and intermediate level, flamenco is beneficial to all dancers, helping to develop musicality, gross motor, coordination and rhythmic understanding. However, at the senior level, we recommend the child takes one ballet or jazz class a week to assist with the classical components of the syllabus.
Children must be enrolled in a classical ballet class to enrol in Flamenco. This ensures safe and efficient development of technique and strength.
Contemporary dance is a style of expressive dance that combines elements of several dance genres including modern, jazz, lyrical and classical ballet. Contemporary dancers strive to connect the mind and the body through fluid dance movements. Contemporary is available to children at EDI from the age of 8, children are strongly advised to take ballet alongside contemporary in order to develop strong physicality and technique. Children must be enrolled in a classical ballet class and at least 8 years old to enrol in to Contempoarary classes.
