Xdream Dance Crew
Michelle Walsh opened Xdream Dance Crew in 2013 to create a dance school with a difference.
After spending many years raising a daughter who went on to pursue a career in dance and another currently in the wings ready to fly, Michelle understands through experience what is and is not required to follow a dance career. Telling children they are going to be a star and you must attend many eistedfods competing in solos at every opportunity is not the way to achieve this goal for many many young dancers. They will more often than not burn out in their early teens and leave dance all together. Michelle believes nurturing the love of dance safely to ensure young bodies are technically strong and can then cope with the pressures put on dancers as they grow and develop is the key to a long relationship with dance. Our kids will always dance like kids at Xdream and will never be pushed to perform at a level that is not appropriate for their age. Michelle feels strongly about this and the fact that Xdream has such a large team of Open Elite girls aged 18 + still dancing and competing at National and International level is a testament to this belief.
In 2019 Xdream began its journey in Allstar Dance, which is an amazing Dance organisation that offers dancers incredible opportunities to perform in a highly professional environment. Xdream started with about 10 Dance teams and quickly grew to 26 Dance Teams including boys only Hip Hop Crews in 2021. Xdream were also awarded 5 Dance World Bids at the 2021 Nationals to compete in Orlando, Florida in April 2022.
Xdream has grown in all ages and genres over the past 3 years and our teams have gone from strength to strength. The best part is that anyone who wants to perform can join a team. We now have both Novice and Open Elite performance teams for all ages. We pride ourselves on being an inclusive and family friendly school and currently have many parents and children enjoying the benefits of our Allstar teams.
Michelle and her teaching team are passionate about supporting and nurturing aspiring dancers of all ages.
Xdream offers a great line up of young and inspiring teachers and choreographers, specialising in all different genres of dance. Our school strongly focuses on teaching technique and strength in a fun safe environment.
Xdream unlike most dance schools where opportunities to dance and continue performing at a high level end when dancers turn 18 proudly offer adult teams in Jazz, Lyrical, Hip Hop and Pom which are not only incredibly successful but also very social.
Xdream are also very excited to be collaborating with Berry Jam Music in 2022 so our dancers will also have the opportunity to train in Singing, Piano and Guitar.
Xdream is proudly affiliated with Aascf Cheer and Dance Association. Our Dancers perform throughout the year in Aascf’s amazing events Held in NSW and culminate in the November National Championships. At Xdream we believe Aascf Dance competitions offer dancers an amazing platform full of incredible opportunities to perform and compete both Nationally and Internationally.
