A Sydney dance teacher accused of child pornography and sex abuse offences has had 16 more charges laid against him.
Grant Davies, 39, ran a dance studio in Sydney's inner west with his sister, and trained performers for hit productions including Billy Elliot.
He was charged in May with a string of child sex and pornography offences, and has been in custody ever since.
Those charges related to students at the dance studio who were aged between nine and 14 at the time of the alleged offences, police have said previously.
In July, 36 new charges were filed against him and on Monday Burwood Local Court was told 16 fresh charges had been laid.

In the brief hearing, a lawyer for the crown said there was a "significant amount" of material in the 800-page evidence brief, including three volumes of text messages.
Davies, who appeared via audio visual link, was formally refused bail.
Wearing a plain green t-shirt and sporting shoulder-length blond hair, Davies showed little emotion during the mention.
He is due back before the same court on November 4.
Davies now faces a total of 63 charges.
The most recent charges include allegations of aggravated indecent assault, aggravated sexual assault and procuring a child for pornographic purposes, according to papers filed at court.
