Course Details

The teaching received at an early age in ballet can have a crucial influence on the development of a young dancer. At Whanganui Ballet & Dance Academy we support young children as they start ballet by offering technical correction in a warm, friendly dance environment.

Children are encouraged to sit exams at an early age as this promotes goal setting and encourages friendly competition. Parents are permitted into the studio to watch class at beginner level, and all children are provided with a CD to practise exam work at home.

If parents have any concerns regarding the progress of their children they are encouraged to phone or email the WBDA Director so these concerns can be addressed immediately.

All beginner ballet students take part in our year-end show. This is often the highlight of the year as they experience the stage for the first time and are presented their exam certificates in front of an enthusiastic audience.

Whanganui Ballet & Dance Academy believes in an inclusive, holistic dance environment where young children are given the skills to cope with learning in all situations, as well as developing a lifelong love of dance.

Special Message

We Believe in High Quality Teaching.

Each stage is as important as the other – more than any other dance form, ballet requires correct technique and patient correction from a trained teacher. After 14 years of training, and have completed a Master of Arts degree at Auckland University, Anna decided to concentrate on a teaching career.

She completed two years of part-time study with Julia Barry studying a course developed by her, based on the Royal Ballet School teachers training program, while at the same time teaching part-time for vocational students at the Auckland Ballet Academy.

Teacher's Experience
Rebecca started dancing in Whanganui at age 4. Her training included RAD Ballet Graded and Vocational exams, ISTD Modern Theatre and the ISTD Jazz Awards. At Whanganui High School she received Distinctions in Dance, and the Principal’s Cup for Contribution to Dance. In 2004, Rebecca was accepted into Unitec in Auckland to study Contemporary Dance. After a year of full time dance training, working with dancers & choreographers such as Michael Parmenter & Malia Johnston she decided to follow a teaching career and share her passion for dance with others. Starting a family in 2005 gave her the opportunity as a new mum to create and teach a postnatal Pilates class which opened up new pathways in the fitness industry, leading to her becoming a qualified Les Mills group fitness instructor. During this time she was also choreographing and performing for an impersonations company that involved travelling all over NZ.
