6th Position - City Studio

6th Position is Canberra's leading adult dance studio, with a city studio on Northbourne Avenue that has become a welcoming home for grown-ups who want to move, learn and express themselves through dance. It is built around the idea that it is never too late to start, and the studio is especially good at meeting complete beginners where they are, whether they last danced decades ago or have never set foot in a class.

The timetable spans a broad mix of styles, so you can explore ballet, jazz, contemporary, tap, hip hop and heels, along with options pitched at different ages and stages. Students regularly describe the teaching as patient, professional and genuinely encouraging, creating an environment that feels friendly and low-pressure while still pushing you to grow technically and build confidence.

Inclusivity sits at the heart of the studio, which proudly identifies as an LGBTQIA+ friendly space, and the community feel comes through strongly in how members talk about their experience. Beyond regular classes, 6th Position also offers event dancers, choreography and a mentor program, but the core draw remains its supportive, joyful approach to adult dance in the centre of Canberra.
