La Bri Farm, Robertsvlei, Franschhoek
.avif)
A genuine Winelands studio among working wine farms, bringing Studio One training to the Franschhoek valley.
La Bri feels distinct without feeling separate. Its rural setting gives each visit a sense of occasion, while the programme follows the same progression and teaching standards as every Studio One class.
There are not many dance studios in the world that sit among working wine farms in one of South Africa's most celebrated valleys. Studio One's Franschhoek home at La Bri Farm is exactly that, a genuinely unique setting that makes every class feel a little special before it's even begun.
La Bri is Studio One's Winelands outpost, and it brings the same standard of training found across all four studios to the Franschhoek community. The Studio One programmes catering to 2 year olds, through pre-school, primary school and teenagers, all have classes offered. Directly accessible to dancers in Franschhoek, La Motte, Wemmershoek, and Robertsvlei, the studio has grown steadily since launching, a testament to just how much the valley has embraced it.
If you live or work in Franschhoek, Villiersdorp, or surrounds, this is your closest Studio One location, and arguably the most beautiful place to dance in the Western Cape.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Can I switch between studios?
Yes. Studio One students are enrolled in the programme, not a specific venue. If your schedule changes or you'd like to attend a class at a different location on a given week, speak to us and we'll make it work.
Is there parking at each studio?
Yes, parking is available at all four locations. On registration confirm specific venue parking details prior to a first class. Most studios are in areas in proximity to coffee shops and other stores. Note that Val de Vie operates within a gated estate, which may affect first-time visitor access.
Do all studios offer the same classes?
The same curriculum and syllabus is taught across all four locations, but not every discipline or age group runs at every venue. The comparison table above shows a summary. For a complete picture of what's available where, view the full timetable or contact us directly.
How do I access Val de Vie Estate for a class?
Val de Vie is a private estate. Classes held at The Yard Centre are exclusively reserved for residents of the estate.
Is there a free trial at every studio?
I live in Franschhoek — is La Bri suitable for young children?
Yes. The Studio One La Bri location is one of our most popular venues for the youngest dancers in our programmes.
Yes. Every Studio One location offers a free trial class for new students. No experience is necessary and there is no obligation. Simply select your closest studio and book your trial online.
What should my child wear to a first class?
Comfortable, form-fitting clothing is ideal: leggings and a fitted top are perfect. For ballet specifically, we recommend a leotard and ballet shoes where possible, but these are not required for a first trial class. Our store stocks everything you'll need once your child is enrolled.
