Our Classes

Jazz

Jazz is a fun and energetic style of dance. It incorporates kicks, turns, and leaps with upbeat music, and stylish and sassy choreography. We offer preschool classes, NZAMD examinations from Grade 1, open classes for senior students looking to improve their style and ability to learn choreography, and a range of jazz-based competition troupes.

Tap

Tap is the perfect style of dance for those who like to be noisy! Using your feet as a form of percussion, tap teaches students all about timing, rhythm, and co-ordination. We offer preschool classes, NZAMD examinations from Grade 1, open classes for senior students, tap competition troupes, as well as adult classes. 

Ballet

Ages 3-18

Ballet is a style of dance characterised by poise, elegance, and grace. Ballet teaches students all about control, correct posture, and excellent technique. We offer preschool classes, NZAMD examinations from Grade 1, and open classes to our senior students. 

Contemporary

Ages 9-18

Contemporary is a modern and expressive style of dance that fuses elements of jazz, ballet, and lyrical. Contemporary encourages students to connect their mind and body, use their breath, and work through the floor. We offer open classes in contemporary to students ages 9 and over.  

Lyrical

Ages 9-18

A slow and expressive style of dance based on ballet and jazz movements and techniques. In these classes, students will learn to use their movements to show emotions and dance with fluidity and grace.

Stretch and Conditioning

Ages 9-18

Stretch and conditioning classes are a way for committed dancers to extend themselves and improve their technique. In these classes, we focus on progressing technique through targetted strengthening and stretching exercises for higher jumps, cleaner turns, and straighter kicks. Stretch and conditioning is highly recommended for students wanting to take their dancing to the next level.

Competition Work

Ages 6-18

Competition work is offered to committed and able students aged 6 and above. Dancers can participate in solos, duos, trios, and troupes in local and national competitions. Competitions are a great way to gain confidence, build teamwork, improve your technique, and have fun performing on the stage. Those participating in competitions have weekly lessons to rehearse their dances.
