A Sydney dance teacher has faced court accused of photographing young girls posing naked, grooming girls for sex and having thousands of child porn images on his laptop.

Abbotsford resident Grant Davies, who ran the dance studio RGDANCE on Bibby Street in Chiswick, allegedly photographed various young girls naked over a period of nine years between 2004 and 2013.

Mr Davies also allegedly sent pictures of himself over the internet to two girls, aged under 10 and under 13, in an attempt to procure them for sex.

The 39-year-old applied for bail when he appeared via audio visual link in Parramatta Local Court this morning.
