About Us

Beginning in 2015, Samantha Nicole School of Dance aims to be a community-creating dance school, offering a range of styles. With classes for ages 2 and up across all abilities and genders, we hope to offer something for everyone! We currently teach a variety of dance styles from our purpose built studio in Grey Lynn, with a supportive and enthusiastic teaching team.

Following Asia Pacific Dance Association (APDA) Jazz, Musical Theatre, Contemporary, Hip Hop; Acrobatic Arts (AA) AcroDance and in-house Lyrical dance, our classes are designed to teach developing dance technique, through exercises and routines focused on musicality and movement. Students can progress through the grades and have the opportunity to sit exams in August each year.

Outside of weekly classes, we hold holiday workshops; extension programmes and Summer camps amongst other things, all with the intention of creating community, connection and friendship for our dances.

We celebrate our year of learning with an annual Dance Concert in term 4, which all students are invited to perform in (including our youngest preschool dancers!).

Our classes are taught with the aim of growing our students as dancers, and as individuals. We aim to create encouraging and friendly learning environments, where friendships are created and encouraged, and no forms of bullying are tolerated.
