Privately run art classes and workshops. Spend a few hours at Bluey's Imaginations while we take you on a journey in creating your own work of art.

We provide all the art materials you need so get your friends together, bring your sense of wonder and your sense of humour and let's have some creative fun. You can wear whatever you like. At this stage we do not have aprons so it may be a good idea not to dress to the nines as there may be some paint drips and splatters. All are welcome at Bluey's Imaginations…

Dance on Fire is a new dance school commencing in 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. Classes suitable for toddler right up to adults. Please visit danceonfire.com.au for sessions and to sign up!
