Established in 2015, we offer a range of dance styles for all ages and abilities. Our Grey Lynn based dance classes teach safe dance technique, through fun routines with modern music within a friendly and encouraging environment!
JAZZ
We offer jazz dance classes from ages 4 and upwards, following the Jazz Dance NZ syllabus. These classes incorporate a mixture of technical elements and routines. Students have the opportunity to sit annual exams.
LYRICAL
Following the JDNZ syllabus, our lyrical classes encourage creativity and emotion from our dancers. Often described as a combination of jazz & ballet, these classes build on technique and choreography.

A more relaxed style of dance, our hip hop classes utilise APDA’s Urban Ignition syllabus, allowing dancers to develop their own style. Our classes introduce hip hop style skills and incorporate them in to a range of routines.
