Mitchell Studios Update
Hi Dancers,
There’s been a lot going on in the two weeks since the last Studio News so it was important to update you all… again! You will be sick of hearing from me, I’m sure!
Mitchell Studios Update
Unfortunately, our site foreman has indicated it will be another two weeks until we can get in. We are hopeful that he seems confident there will be no further delays past this point. We will be in touch later about a grand-opening event!
2025 Schedule
Further delays means we have had to extend the Summer Series Schedule one more time but with as full and packed-out a schedule as we can manage! So from 3rd February (Term 1 start for ACT) we’ve got a hybrid of our new 2025 schedule and our full 2024 schedule - just for those two weeks, to give you your dance fix. You can see the updated Summer Series here.
Lunchtime classes are also kicking off from 3rd of February but will be available all year long. If you’re not sure what to expect from some of them, keep an eye on our socials or read below:
Ballet Foundations with Rachel - enrolment course
A 10 week enrolment course designed to give teach you the most basic fundamentals of classical ballet. Each week you learn a little more with support materials provided via email when you sign-up. Our other foundations courses (Tap Foundations and Ballet Foundations at Mitchell) will wait until the Mitchell Studios are open to launch.
Ballet Fit with Noah, Gino or Emory - 45mins, half a class credit
A class designed to condition and sculpt your body for dance to prevent injuries and build your strength. Not just for ballet dancers, you will break a sweat through low-impact exercises such as a floor barre or PBT (ballet exercises on a yoga ball). Either way, you will leave feeling long and strong!
Lunchtime Ballet (Open Level) with Tatiana- 1 hour fifteen, one class credit
Got time to fit a ballet class into your weekday? Look no further as Tatiana takes you through a barre and centre all before you head back to work. This class can increase to the standard 1.5 hours for ballet if it becomes popular enough. I know you ballet dancers love a long class!
Ballet Conditioning with Rachel - 45mins, half a class credit
Enjoy more low-impact but high-reward exercises that improve your core, posture, alignment and strength with PBT exercises.
Express Lunchtime Ballet with Rachel - 45mins, half a class credit
Got time to stay longer? Or not much time to spare in your lunch break? This express lunchtime ballet class only uses half a class credit but gives you a quick ballet fix while you wait the rest of Friday out.
Weekend classes have also received a revamp following Martin’s departure. Beginner Pointe will now be offered on a Saturday too for those who want to increase their training or cannot make a weeknight. To view the further updates for our 2025 Schedule for when Mitchell Studios are open, click here.
Performance Troupe Auditions
Ever envisioned yourself being paid-to-dance? Our Performance Troupe attend events all around Canberra whilst showing off 6th Position’s incredible professionalism and talent. Auditions (to fill a few new spaces) will be held on Sunday 9th February from 4-6pm at the Northbourne Studio. More information coming out on our socials tomorrow morning!
RAD Classes
Our exam students will start preparing for their mid-year exam so these classes are locked down now and not open to newcomers. The two weeks we do in the city allows us to add up to a ten-week term. Payment links will be sent out shortly.
Discovering Repertoire students have been squeezed into a Sunday morning timeslot and for those who cannot attend the Thursday classes once Mitchell is open, you are still most welcome to attend these two weeks!
Teens Classes
The delay of our Mitchell Studios also means that our new Teen Jazz and Lyrical class as well as our Teen Adv. Beginner Ballet class cannot commence with the beginning of Term 1. All teens are welcome to the Wednesday Teen Beginner Ballet class in the meantime to get their full ten weeks of term 1. Otherwise we will see you in two weeks while you get back into the swing of school routines and homework! Payment links will be sent out this week.
I can’t thank you all enough for your patience. I may spontaneously combust if I receive any further delays or I have to redo the schedule again but your support and positivity has been so appreciated! I’ve said it once, and I’ll say it a million more times: 6P’s dance community is the BEST!
