Dancing on cloud nine

The Carlton school, which offers ballet, tap, modern, acrobatics, streetdance and contemporary classes for all ages, opened in June 2011 and has over 200 students.

The brand new studio boasts specialist dance floor, mirrored wall, ballet barre, toilets and changing rooms and is based in Carlton’s Civic Centre.

The fundraising efforts were supported heavily by residents and businesses who sponsored Carlton couple Peter and Julia Burton on a sponsored walk in aid of the dance studios.

Principal Rebecca Doona said it was ‘amazing’.
