Tararua School of Dance offers high quality dance classes in Ballet, Jazz and Acro dance.
Ballet
Ballet is the foundation of all dance, and is an essential building block to a well-rounded dance education. Dancers develop their posture, co-ordination and musicality, which is key in all dance genres. We encourage all our students to attend ballet alongside our other classes.
Jazz
This class is a favourite among many of our students. It involves runs, spins, kicks and leaps, as well as many other diverse steps and movements with lots of arm and hand actions. The music can be fast and rhythmic or slow and sensuous, allowing dancers to use freedom of expression to enhance their style.
Acro
With inspiration from gymnastic floor work and rhythmic gymnastics, this dance style incorporates acrobatic movement into elegant flowing routines, with creative, expressive lifts and poses.
Requiring strength, flexibility and technique, Acrobatic Dance produces inspiring performances for the dancer and audience.
