ys welcome, we accept dancers from age 2yrs up. These classes are taught by our two amazing teachers
Elizabeth-jane Ruthvern ( T.C.R.G)
Lianna Connor (soon to be T.C.R.G)

Both our teachers have 40+ years combined experience. This experience is in both team and solo dance styles. They have achieved many New Zealand and International Dance titles and have both danced on the world champion stages. Our main focus at K.I.D.S is on Solo competitive Irish dancing, however we also do team celies, rhythm pieces, contemporary Irish Dancers and Grades. We finish each year with a showcase where every student, no matter what their ability, is included. This is where we get to show parents, family and friends what we have been working on and to share the different goals achieved throughout the year.

Effortlessly gliding across the stage in a very tough age group Ellamae just merely points away from placing in the top 10 in the under 16 age group on day 2 of the New Zealand national championships.

Well done Ellamae we are so proud of the hard work and dedication you have put into your dancing this year 💪💐
