Returning families re-enrol each performer in the TJB Family app. New families register interest here, and we call you to help choose classes once the 2027 timetable is out.

Very soon. Everyone who has registered interest hears first.

2027 term fees come out with the timetable. Baby Bop is $10 a class, paid as you come. New students can trial two weeks of classes, in as many styles as they like, for $15 a class with no lock-in, in any term. Love it? A $30 yearly enrolment fee holds their spot.

Our main studio is at Unit 2/13 Major Street, Davenport, in Bunbury WA, Monday to Saturday. On Thursdays we also teach at Australind Hall, Mulgara Street, Australind. Families come from Bunbury, Australind, Eaton, Dalyellup, Capel, Harvey and across the South West.

Since 1979. Helen Goff founded TJB 47 years ago, and most of our 17 teachers trained here as kids. Alumni include Dianne Buswell of Strictly Come Dancing.

Ballet, jazz, hip hop, tap, acrobatics, contemporary, lyrical, musical theatre and singing, for ages 1 to adult. See Classes for each age group.

From 1 year old. Baby Bop & Tumbling Tots (1–3), Foundation (3–5), Sub Junior (5–6), Junior (7–10), Sub Intermediate (10–12), Intermediate (13–15) and Senior (15+). Adult classes welcome every level from 18. Where the ages overlap, we place each performer by level, and we will help you choose.

None at all. Around 70% of our performers dance purely for fun, friendship and confidence.

For a trial, anything comfortable that's easy to move in and makes them feel good. Our uniform is black and red, so black helps if they'd rather blend in. Once they decide to stay, they have three weeks to get the TJB uniform. Buy it at the uniform shop in the Bunbury studio or online through our uniform shop.

Yes, plenty. Boys love hip hop, acro and jazz, and are often naturals at tap, which is great for musicality. Musical theatre is a fun add-on, and our alumni include boys who went on to dance professionally.

No, both are optional. APDA exams are taught in class in every APDA style from about age 6 (TJB wrote Agility, the APDA acrobatics syllabus); the only extra cost is the examiner's fee, about $60–$90 per exam. For the competition team, let us know you're interested and our teachers select performers for each troupe (spots depend on space). Competition performers also do exams, including ballet, unless they're only in a hip hop troupe.

Yes: three shows at Eaton Recreation Centre with around 600 seats each. Taking part is optional, and adults can perform too.

If your performer takes part: a $100 costume deposit a few months before, with the rest billed when costumes arrive (most costumes are about $100–$130; competition costumes about $150+). The concert levy, about $120, covers all the photos and videos and the rehearsals at Eaton Recreation Centre. Tickets are about $60 for adults and $30 for children.

Parents don't come into the room, even for Baby Bop, and we don't have a viewing area. It's healthy for little ones to wave goodbye and know you're coming back. Classes are about 45 minutes, so lots of parents grab a coffee or do some shopping.

They're always kept safe and looked after. If a nervous child doesn't settle on their first visit, we bring them out to you so the studio stays a happy place. Most are skipping in, excited, within two or three weeks.
