Dance West as a ballet school with new purpose built studios. Follows the RAD syllabus for ballet and NZAMD contemporary syllabus.

Children as young as three years old have the ability to learn at their own pace by way of a new and innovative programme by the Royal Academy of Dance (RAD). Children are then encouraged to progress from this stage to the various levels where there is an opportunity to sit exams as arranged by RAD. There is also opportunity for children who have made significant progress to attend private lessons and participate in competition stage work. Classes are run out of the purpose built Dance West studios on Keeling Road, Henderson. The studio is equipt with barres, mirrors and professional dance flooring. We now also offer NZAMD Contemporary and have classes with Royal New Zealand Ballet Company members

Beautiful Autumn from Grade 1 is this months dancer of the month. Quietly and consistently is how she worked all year long for her exam. The effort and work showed as every week she returned with things improving. Well done Autumn! 🩰

Shout out to our seniors who sat exams too. The quiet achievers. The ones who have been here 13 years. The ones who our juniors look up to. The ones who battled through the exams sick, or with two right shoes 🫣🤭 🩰

Four long days with 100 kids sitting Royal Academy of Dance NZ exams from Pre-Primary - Advanced 1. Congratulations to all those who completed their exams!! 🩰🩰

Could not have done it without fabulous my team of teachers Kt Parry and Jaimee Lawrence plus without the help of Jess A on music.

Plus massive shout out to Jenny Wu and the Wuwu girls for helping set up, pack up and run the ship while the chaos unfolded downstairs. And of course my family and Beata on her superstar hairdos.

More photos to come once all has calmed down again. But a few of our faves from the sessions.
