2027 · Level 2
Our Year 3 to 6 rep team. This is where young dancers level up their skills, find powerful new moves and start training like professionals.
Mix it. Move it. Own it.
Year 3 to 6 is where things start to shift.
This is the level-up.
Training becomes more intentional. Expectations get higher. Dancers start building the layers that turn potential into real skill — technique, performance, versatility, teamwork and consistency.
They’re old enough to take their training seriously. And so do we.
The Recipe is where dancers are challenged to step up, work as a team and start understanding what it means to train and perform at a higher level.
More training. More opportunities. More expected of them.
Because these are the years that can change the game.
Here’s what goes into every Recipe dancer.
Dedication. Turning up every week is what makes the whole recipe work.
The Recipe is our Level 2 hip hop crew. Year 3–6 dancers can also sing and perform in The Artist Lab, or battle with our breakers.
Bigger training. Sharper performance. Real stages.
For dancers who are ready to train harder, learn bigger choreography and perform as a tight crew. Entry is by tryout or invitation.
Love to sing as well as dance? Living for breaking battles? There's a stream for that too.
Move. Sing. Perform.
For performers who want to do all three. Commercial dance, pop vocals and stage and camera work, trained together like a real pop act. Entry is by submission or audition.
Where dancers turn into warriors.
A select crew chosen from Breaking Academy for 2v2 battles, solo comps and stage shows, with acro and tumbling built in.
Toprocks, power moves and freezes.
Next-level breaking for students who already have the foundations, and the way into Floor Messiahz.
The rep pathway
The Recipe is for young stars who are ready to shine their brightest.

Costs at a glance
Year 3 to Year 6 dancers who are existing Base 181 students. Entry is by tryout or invitation. We look for dancers and families with the dedication, attitude and skills to commit to high-level weekly training and share our studio values.
We like to keep things super transparent. Your 4 classes per week and your Base 181 uniform are included in your membership.
Additional extras may include:
Everything happens in the Band app (the green tile with the B). You'll be invited to the private Year 3–6 Rep Team group.
Key notices are pinned at the top, and every performance is in the Events tab. Please turn notifications on, as performance details aren't sent by email.
Every dancer has a set spot in the formation, so we plan each routine from the RSVP list. A dancer can't slot in at the last minute without changing it for everyone.
Please RSVP in Band before each event's deadline. Without an RSVP, your dancer won't be able to perform that day.
As much as we can. Entertainment moves fast, so some great opportunities only come up a week or so out. We'd rather say yes to those for the kids, and we really appreciate your flexibility.
It's not something we focus on. We're all about nurturing performance skills, not competition skills, and developing artists with real skills for the stage.
Competitions are about getting choreography tight through a lot of repetition of the same routine, and we don't feel that nurtures the best talent. That said, if a competition comes up that we feel will develop our dancers, we'll 100% do it.
Weekly training and performances are a must, so we ask dancers to miss class only when they're unwell. If a holiday clashes with a performance, let us know at the start of the year so we can plan around it.
Yes, across Base 181 teams such as The Artist Lab and Floor Messiahz. Each one offers something different, so chat with us about what suits your dancer. Rep dancers can't be on another studio's team, just like playing for one club in sport.
What now?
Tryouts are on Friday 13 November. Got questions first? Email [email protected] and we'll get back to you soon.
