Modern Dance

Modern Dance is a dynamic and expressive style that encourages creativity through movement. Rooted in the strong technical foundations of ballet, it breaks free from rigid structures, embracing fluidity, abstract expression, and storytelling. Furthermore, with a mix of high-energy combinations and grounded floor work, modern dance classes allow dancers to explore ideas, emotions, and diverse musical styles.

Ideal for children who love to experiment and express themselves, modern dance nurtures self-confidence, adaptability, and a deep connection to music. Our classes follow the AIDT (Association of International Dance Teachers) syllabus, which blends straight modern dance, jazz, contemporary, lyrical, physical theatre, and musical theatre. As a result, this structured yet versatile program focuses on correct technique, discipline, and musicality. It ensures a strong foundation and structured progression while also inspiring creativity.

The AIDT, a globally recognised, non-profit association, is dedicated to upholding excellence in dance education. Through this syllabus, we provide a comprehensive, engaging, and supportive learning environment where every dancer can thrive.

Ballet

Ballet is a beautifully structured dance style that develops grace, poise, and discipline. It builds a strong technical foundation, making it an excellent choice for dancers of all levels. Ballet enhances strength and flexibility while helping shy or reserved children gain confidence in a supportive environment.

If your child loves structure, elegance, and classical music—or enjoys dressing up, having their hair neat, and looking the part—ballet could be the perfect fit! This style fosters attention to detail and a sense of pride in presentation, making it ideal for those who appreciate both beauty and refinement.

At Dance Dynamix, we follow the Dance Academy of South Africa (DASA) syllabus, which upholds world-class standards while embracing a compassionate and nurturing approach to training through structured progression.

DASA-trained dancers are versatile, adapting smoothly to other ballet methods like RAD. The syllabus also offers medal performance dances, supporting holistic child development and providing opportunities for national and modern dance medals.

Ballet classes are for everyone—from our tiniest beginners to advanced dancers ready to refine their artistry. Join us in discovering the elegance and excellence of ballet!

Hip-Hop Dance

Hip Hop is a fun, energetic style that’s perfect for outgoing children who love to move to the beat. It helps kids develop confidence, rhythm, and creativity, making it an ideal choice for the high-energy child who enjoys expressing themselves through dance.

Hip hop classes are high-intensity, allowing students to add their own personal flair while learning dynamic moves. In Hip Hop, we follow the Association of International Dance Teachers (AIDT) syllabus, which offers an exceptional curriculum covering various hip hop genres, including B-Boy, New School, Old School, Krump, House, Lyrical, Waacking, and Vogue. This syllabus, crafted by an eclectic mix of skilled professionals and choreographers, ensures a diverse and exciting learning experience for our students.

Our approach to Hip Hop is grounded in authenticity, ensuring that the content is age-appropriate while embracing the natural groove, a strong sense of performance, and most importantly, fun and enjoyment.

The Elites Performance Class, for students aged 13 and above, offers a unique platform. This class focuses on choreography and performance in various dance styles. It’s about more than just dance—it’s about building pride, respect, and excellence. Earning the title of ‘Elite’ is a significant milestone, representing the top tier of Dance Dynamix.

Our vision is for each dancer to embody the essence of an Elite, becoming a beacon of excellence in our dance community. The class prioritises not only dance skills but also teamwork, collaboration, stage presence, problem-solving, and time management. These essential skills prepare dancers for success, both in and outside of dance.

The Elites Performance Class brings together our most dedicated senior dancers. Here, they push themselves creatively, building their performance and choreography skills. We explore different dance styles and themes, drawing inspiration from the music or concepts behind each piece.

Back in South Africa, this class was a sought-after goal for my young dancers as they entered their teen years. I’m excited to bring it to New Zealand as part of my legacy. 2025 marks the beginning of our first group of Elites. I can’t wait to watch this program grow alongside our community.

To join the Elites Performance Team, dancers must participate in at least one technique or syllabus class (Ballet, Modern, or Hip Hop). This ensures they have the foundational technique needed to thrive.
