This foundation prepares students for a successful transition to ballet and other dance genres at higher levels.
Students can sit a class award exam in September & teachers will guild parents with this. It is a nice introduction to examinations as their teacher goes in with them.
We also learn the NZAMD Pre Grade Jazz Rosette level 1 which the children enjoy.
The Studio has been training dancers in Dunedin for over 60 years, many of whom have gone on to make dance their career. [Most recently Tatyana Carr accepted into fulltime training at the Alberta School Of Ballet in Canada. In 2019 Tat has been accepted to attend the Royal Danish Summer School.

Principal Robyn Sinclair feels that although this is a fantastic achievement, the most important part of learning dance is enjoyment. “Lets face it, most students attend class because they want to dance, if you produce a dancer, then that’s a bonus”
Teachers at the studio continue with their own professional development by attending courses & workshops to enhance their qualifications & knowledge.
Most recently new updates for NZAMD Jazz & all the RAD Ballet syllabi have been updated.The new jazz dances & combinations give the work a fresh & up-to-date look. The new ballet sylabii showcases pure classical technique alongside neo-classical movements with inspirational music.
