xlr8_arts dance studio is a performing arts school based in South Melbourne, teaching drama, dance and tap to students ranging from young children through to adults. It's run by Christopher Horsey, a performing arts teacher with more than 35 years of experience in the industry. The studio's program includes Sing, Dance, Act classes for Preps and Grade 1 students on Saturday mornings, a Drama Club split into primary and secondary age groups on Monday afternoons and evenings, and an adult tap class on Thursday nights. Classes are designed to build performance skills, confidence and creativity in a supportive studio environment. Since starting in 2022, xlr8_arts has grown its offering across multiple age groups and disciplines, giving South Melbourne families a local option for drama, dance and tap training outside of school hours. Enrolments open each year for returning and new students across the studio's class list. For local families and adult students looking for performing arts classes close to home, xlr8_arts offers a small, personally run alternative to larger dance schools in the area.
