What's New
Burlesque not running in Term 2
Our lovely burlesque teachers are unavailable this term, so unfortunately we won't run our usual Sunday Burlesque class in term 2. But don't worry, it will be back next term! In the meantime, make sure you get to the 120 Birds performance at the Street Theatre to see some fantastic Burlesque - 1920's style! Details below.
120 Birds at Street Theatre
CDT's Artistic Director was the toast of the 2010 Edinburgh Fringe Festival with her ravishing work 120 BIRDS mining Anna Pavlova’s legacy to create a brilliant expose of the rise and fall of an Australian dance company that toured the world in the 1920s. Now this smart, stylish take on social dance is set to sparkle in Canberra as Liz Lea and Company present the Australian Premiere for a strictly limited season at The Street Theatre from 19th May. This is a performance not to be missed! Check out our performance page for more details.
New African Dance Class at CDT!!!
Lively up your Sunday afternoons and keep warm throughout the winter with CDT's exciting new African dance class. This class is high energy, vibrant and earthy, and embraces both traditional and modern African dance steps from East to West Africa. From the sensual and seductive 'Chakacha' dance of the Swahili Coast, to the powerful 'Djansa' warrior dance of Mali, let us take you on an African journey of rhythm and movement. You will learn several African dances each term with the amazing Kylee Sharp, founding member of the 'Salto Jamboree' dance and acrobatic troupe, which performed in Africa and all around the world. This is a great opportunity for all CDT members so make sure you don't miss out! Classes are held on Sundays from 3.30 to 4.50pm.
Timetable Term 2
Check out our timetable page for updated details for term 2. Classes remain the same with the exception of the cancellation of Pilates on Sunday. CDT resumes classes on April 30. We wish existing members a safe and happy break over the school holiday period and look forward to welcoming new members next term as well. See you then!!
