LCDC is passionate about providing dance opportunities to children and others within the community at affordable prices for all.
The teachers have a joy of teaching and pride in watching their students thrive and reach their dancing goals.
The club provides students from ages 3 and upwards an opportunity to learn a variety of dance styles and skills in groups and individual/pairs. LCDC hosts a local concert each year and from 2025 will be held in June. There are also optional opportunities to participate in regional competitions in Mildura, also in June both as part of a team, solo or duo. Competitions are not for everyone. Only those that are willing to set goals and work hard (both at lesson and in their own time) to reach them should consider competition dance. However, if chosen, the experience is both gratifying and rewarding.
Novice dancers get an experience that involves fun, discipline, teamwork whilst learning the basics of dancing.
They get to be a part of the main concert and experience the thrill of performing.
The club is a not-for-profit sporting group / dance club that is run by a Management Committee. The club relies on club fees, fundraising, grants and donations to operate. If you are interested in joining the LCDC Management Committee, expressions of interest can be submitted via email to the club's email at loxtoncommdanceclub@gmail.com
