The Dance on Fire Experience
Dance has been used throughout Judeo-Christian history as a form of celebration and worship.
Dance has been used throughout Judeo-Christian history as a form of celebration and worship.
But for those of you who are Christian, there are probably some elements of your typical modern dance school that you might not be comfortable with. Perhaps it is the revealing costumes. Maybe the vulgar or highly-sexualised music. You might love dance, but find it hard to reconcile this with a dance culture that clashes with your values. If this is you, then you have come to the right place!
Dance on Fire is a new dance school that commenced this year, 2023, with a vision to teach students the skills to help them create art with their bodies through dance, inspired by the Holy Spirit. Dance on Fire uses clean and child-friendly music that inspires faith and goodness. The uniform and costumes are modest and ensure that the dignity of the human person is respected.
Dance on Fire classes harness techniques from both ballet and jazz to form a solid basis for other styles of dance that will also be used in class (e.g., contemporary, hip-hop/funk). Once there are dances to share, there will be small and large opportunities for Dance on Fire students to present in front of the wider community. The aim is to tell a story using dance that will move and inspire both the audience and the dancers themselves.

OUR DANCE TEACHER
OUR DANCE TEACHER
Isabelle Lawless grew up dancing - ballet, jazz, contemporary, hip-hop/funk and many other styles. She danced for 15 years and trained for Advanced level examinations, as well as completing Dance units 3/4 as a subject for VCE. She then began her teacher certification in the Cecchetti method, before family life took centre stage. Isabelle has 6 precious children, 3 boys and 3 girls who all love to dance. As a child, she created many concerts at home using her brothers as (unwilling) students. A previous Zumba instructor, she then ran her own ballet classes for pre-school and primary school-aged children (called Free to Dance) for a short time in 2018 before taking extended maternity leave.
