our dance classes
Dancing is like dreaming with your feet

Pre School

We offer classes for children aged 4 years and up in three disciplines – Jazz, Ballet and Tap. The NZAMD Rosette Pre-Grades 1 to 3 are fun filled to allow the student to develop rhythm and co-ordination. The first two grades are presentation examinations with teacher participation, building up to the third exam which is unaided. Students receive a colourful rosette at the end of each examination.

Jazz

The NZAMD American Jazz Syllabus is designed for students aged 7 years and up of all abilities, beginning at Level 1 up to Solo.  Students love the combinations which cover various styles which include hip hop, contemporary, and lyrical. We also offer the NZAMD Original Jazz Syllabus where required.

Tap

The NZAMD American Tap Syllabus is a rhythmical, exciting and enjoyable syllabus created by Keith Clifton (USA). Also, for students aged 7 years and up of all abilities, beginning at Level 1 up to Solo.

Hip Hop

We offer two syllabi to all our hip hop students, NZAMD and UDO. Both are energetic and fun filled allowing the students to bring their own flavour of style.

Contemporary

Everyone asks “what is contemporary?” Contemporary is an expressive form of dance combining jazz, ballet and lyrical movements. The NZAMD syllabus designed for students aged 9 years and up was created by Anne Dewey

Acro

These classes do not follow a syllabus but are proving to be very popular thanks to shows like “BGT and World of Dance”. It is a requirement for acro that students learn jazz within our dance school.

Adult

Adults are big kids and our classes are full of laughs and learning. Classes available depend on the adults enrolled and what they want to learn, aiming to cover all abilities and disciplines.
