Dance school in Auckland

“My daughter started dancing here 4 years ago and has been absolutely amazing. Lenore and the team are the best collaboration of teachers and are a family that welcomed her in with open arms. She has made so many friends at the studio and extended her dancing immensely. Thanks Lenore, you're amazing :)”

“Rich courses, excellent teachers, I like the atmosphere of such a full dance courses. I have been in class for half a year, and both myself and my friends feel that we have made great progress. Every class is very enjoyable. Highly recommend to all.”

“Started my dance journey here and have now considered this space my second home! Energy is always on point, the amount of growth that can take place in this studio is life changing and the director and choreographers there are top tier. I have never felt more comfortable and free than within TST Studios! Check it out for yourselves to begin an adventure like nothing youve ever experienced!”

“My 4 yr old started baby ballet and I have been so impressed with the team. The young teachers do a brilliant job of managing and teaching a large group of 4 year olds keeping them engaged, learning and growing and making them feel special too and let’s say managing parents and interruptions at time too with grace and a smile. We were able to be apart of the concert and it was brilliant, professional, fun and engaging. Well done team! Appreciate it and communication is great.”

“My children have thrived at this studio! The teachers are great at encouraging them and helping to grow their confidence. A really wonderful environment.”

“I had moved nearby a few months ago and decided to try their Intro to Pole Sport classes. It was totally out of my comfort zone but they were so welcoming that I decided to get a membership! It's definitely a family. Would 100% recommend. I've brought friends to the flexibility classes as well and they enjoyed it! I recommend the memberships, but if you can't fork the money and happen to have ClassPass they are on there as well! But if it's your first time going make sure to go to the intro classes - I think you have to do 5 before going to Level 1.”

“My two daughters have been practicing in Neverland over two years. We love this place. Nice environment and friendly staffs. And the end of year show is fantastic. We will definitely continue our dance journey in Neverland.”

“Professional and friendly classes to do tricking and parkour style gymnastics. My son is improving so much physically & mentally and made lots of good quality friends. Highly recommend”

“My mom and I were in Auckland for a few days and wanted to go see a play and we ended up getting tickets to White Men. The venue was gorgeous, the show was great, and overall it was just a lovely atmosphere! If either of us ever go back to Auckland, we will definitely be looking to see another show here! Highly recommend!”

“Great facilities for performances and classes. Staff are helpful and friendly.”

“It was a 5 star performance. The cast performed Young Frankenstein.”

“Our 2 daughters (now 8 & 10) joined Empire after attending a school holiday program with friends. We absolutely LOVE the studio and have recommended it to so many others. We particularly love the inclusive environment where students are empowered and supported to step out of their comfort zone and try new things and be their best selves. No body issues, hair styles or special uniforms required - just honest fun and friendship. My eldest has joined a competition team this year which has been a step up from the community classes in terms of commitment and skill level but she has been gently nudged and comes home every week wanting to practice and test her body and learn new tricks. She is so proud of herself every time she nails it. Thanks to Claire and Jaymie for the wonderful community they’ve developed and nurture. We love being part of it!”

“Such an amazing pole studio! The instructors are so lovely and really care about me and my progression. It's my second home and happy place”

“I'm rather happy with the meal. *Butter chicken, it was the best I've had in Orewa so far. *Chilli Chicken was a standout for me the flavour was bang on. *Garlic Prawns were fantastic I just wished there was more..I'll definitely order those again. So overall my experience is a huge positive.”

“I can't speak on the inner workings of the academy, but I recently travelled to Auckland specifically to see their production of Legally Blonde the Musical. I had no prior knowledge of or experience with APAA, but I was absolutely blown away by the show. The performers are insanely talented and you can tell they were thoroughly enjoying themselves. I particularly liked how they managed to include the younger kids in the show, since Legally Blonde isn't typically a show where younger kids are cast. They worked the younger performers into the show seamlessly, and they all seemed so excited to have their chance to shine (they were also incredibly talented, especially for their age!). The performers in the lead roles had seriously insane, Broadway-level talent in both singing, dancing, and acting. Super excited to visit again and watch their future shows!”

“Excellent dance school. Very accomplished tutors!”

“Tyler has done an awesome job with starting this studio!!!”

“LivDance is an incredible and inclusive school. My daughter loves it and is thriving under the teaching of Miss Olivia.”

“An apt place to start your dance journey! Prachi di is extremely knowledgeable, patient and takes us through intricacies of kathak in a structured yet relatable ways. I look forward to my classes every week and continuing my kathak journey under her guidance.”

“Ms. Sophie is incredibly professional and has endless patience and a wonderful sense of childlike joy when teaching young learners. She skillfully uses imaginative guidance to inspire kids to dance, making every lesson a delightful experience. We feel so lucky to have her as our child’s first dance teacher!”

“Emma is amazing! Our daughter has been going to her classes for the past 2.5 years and she absolutely loves it and has learned & grown so much. We can’t wait for our youngest daughter to start in a few months at 18 months! Highly recommend :)”

“My daughter loves her hiphop class, I am very impressed with Kristy, she knows every students names and communicates beautifully to the children. We highly recommend Stow Austin dance studio.”

“I am so grateful to be a part of Arabella’s dance school! I wish I had found Tais earlier in my dance years. She is wonderful as a dancer and person. As a student I am very impressed by her competency and professionalism! I like that Tais set the tone to her school. It is open for all levels and friendly environment among students, yet highly professional atmosphere. Going to classes is always a joy and inspiration for me! Not only learning professional techniques and mastering new movements, but also enriching my feminine energy levels and feeling as a part of a big family. So, if you are truly interested in the fine art of bellydancing you go to the best and that would be Arabella’s bellydance school with an Internationally multi-awarded superstar Tais, who is so professional than any other dancer in New Zealand!”

“absolutely wonderful and amazing place. so encouraging and positive. :3 would definitely recommend, the studio is great and the instructors are amazing.”

“Great energy, great fun and great teachers”

“Azalea is (in my opinion) the best salsa teacher in Auckland. Azalea sees everything I'm doing right & wrong (doesn't seem to miss a thing), and corrects me in a friendly way. Very polite & professional, Azalea is so encouraging, and has a gift for showing people how to dance better & better. Extremely good value, highly recommended to anyone & everyone.”

“Love the people, the studio ... Love Red!”
