Hip Hop
This is a high energy class that equips and inspires students to learn new skills set to upbeat music. Students learn to choreograph, work in groups and perform dance sequences. Rhythm and vibrancy are fundamentals in these classes, as they combine style, music, and cutting-edge choreography. Students are introduced to both new and traditional street styles.
Our Hip Hop uniform can be found here.

Ballet
Ballet is an important base for most dance disciplines. Students follow the New Zealand Association of Modern Dance Syllabus (NZAMD) which is designed to progressively challenge all students from beginners to advanced and has been created with today’s dancer in mind. With the option of sitting exams, our ballerinas learn to move with poise and grace while mastering their posture.
