School dance programs
Movement, confidence and connection.
Give students a different way to learn and express themselves. BKODE works with primary and secondary schools across Melbourne and Victoria, using dance to support personal growth, creativity and teamwork.
More than learning a routine
Our sessions combine dance skills with opportunities to listen, lead and support others. Students practise coordination, balance and movement while building confidence in a shared learning environment.
A program to suit your students
Our 10-week programs can focus on:
Connection and participation — a supportive setting to practise communication, build relationships and work as a team.
Student leadership — opportunities to make decisions, take initiative and guide others with respect.
Self-awareness and confidence — space to explore strengths, set goals and support classmates.
Program length can be adjusted to suit your school.
How a session works
A typical one-hour session includes 5 minutes of warm-up and stretching, 30 minutes of choreography and technique, 15 minutes exploring the program theme, and 10 minutes of practice and performance.
The program can build towards a showcase at an assembly, school social or presentation night, giving students a chance to share their progress.
More ways to bring dance to school
Transition programs help Year 6 and Year 7 students connect through a shared activity. Physical education sessions encourage movement, coordination and creativity.
Inclusive lessons can be adapted for students with disabilities and different learning needs. Talk to us about your group’s goals and support needs.
We also offer choreography, concert preparation, dance group development, mentoring and before- or after-school sessions.
Planning your program
We teach Prep to Year 12 across Victoria. Groups are usually around 25 students; larger groups can be discussed with additional teaching support.
Your school provides a suitable space, such as a gym, hall or classroom, with power for audio equipment. BKODE takes care of the dance session. Music is selected to suit the students, and schools can discuss their own song choices.
Our teachers hold Working with Children Checks. BKODE holds public liability and professional indemnity insurance.
