Classical Ballet:

We follow the British Ballet Organisation Syllabus for Classical Ballet. This syllabus allows the students to undertake yearly examinations to measure their progress. Classes begin from age 3 and progress right up to Pre-Professional Level.

Jazz:

We use the New Zealand Association of Modern Dance American Jazz Syllabus for our jazz classes. This allows for students wishing to undertake examinations, the opportunity to do so. Classes begin from age 5 and continue up to Solo Seal. We also offer open jazz classes for senior students, Elementary above.

Hip Hop:

The Hip Hop classes are based around the New Zealand Association of Modern Dance Hip Hop syllabus, which allows students to undertake exams. However we do encourage open work within our classes, as Hip Hop is a more free style than Ballet or Jazz.

Contemporary:

We offer a Contemporary Level 4, which is taught by Hayley Watts. The class format focuses on technique, musicality and strength.

Adult Ballet Open Classes:

These classes are taught by Glen Harris, a former professional dancer. This class focuses on fun, flexibility and fitness with the love of dance and ballet thrown in.
