Ballet
Ballet is an important base for most dance disciplines. The NZAMD Ballet syllabus is designed to allow students to progress without pressure, making it attractive for the once-a-week student, as well as being progressively challenging for the more committed student. Our first syllabus-based class starts at 4 years old (Rosette 1), however we offer a Mum & Me class for toddlers aged from 2.5 years.
Jazz
We offer NZAMD American Jazz classes starting from 5 years old through to adults. This syllabus-based class is designed with comprehensive warm-ups, barre, floor work and progressions with turns, leaps and stylish. Our classes are suitable for the once-a-week student, as well as the dancer who is aiming for a dance career.
Contemporary
Our NZAMD Contemporary class teaches students to understand the concepts of movement such as weight, flow, momentum and the use of gravity while they continue to enjoy a sense of dance while focusing on freedom of movement and spatial awareness. Classes offered from 9 years old and up.
SLS
Stretch, Leap, Spin - a class designed to develop flexibility, and an introduction to big leaps, turning technique through a fun and energized syllabus class. Available in Junior, Intermediate and Senior levels.
Adult Classes
We have both Ballet and Jazz classes on offer for adults who have previously had some previous basic dance training and looking for an enjoyable way to keep up their fitness.
