Welcome to Doogan Dance Academy, a renowned family run dance school located in Antrim, New Zealand. With over 20 years of experience in teaching dance, Doogan Dance Academy is dedicated to providing high-quality dance classes for individuals aged 18 months and above. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced dancer, everyone is welcome to join our academy and learn a variety of dance styles including Tap/Modern/Jazz, Ballet/Contemporary, and Hip Hop.
At Doogan Dance Academy, our primary aim is to bring out the best in every student in a safe and enjoyable environment. We believe that dance is not only a form of creative expression, but it also helps in developing rhythm, coordination, fitness, flexibility, and body control. Our highly skilled instructors create an inclusive atmosphere where students can have fun while learning and progressing in their chosen dance style.
Our Tap classes focus on developing rhythm and musicality, as students enjoy recreating intricate rhythms with their feet. This dance style also allows appreciation for different types of music. Modern and Jazz classes are energetic and enjoyable, with the music being more current. Through these classes, students learn core dance techniques while progressing through different skill levels.
Ballet classes at Doogan Dance Academy are perfect for individuals of all ages, as they help in building good coordination and grace. As students get older, ballet not only maintains flexibility and fitness but also enhances body control and posture.
For those interested in Hip Hop, joining our Hip Hop classes provides an opportunity to dance as part of a team. Students learn real hip hop dance moves while expressing themselves creatively. This dance style encourages confidence, fitness, and enjoyment.
We offer classes in multiple locations including Ballyclare, Lisburn, Crumlin, Antrim, Carrickfergus, and Belfast, making it convenient for individuals to find a class near them. Whether you are looking to pursue dance as a hobby or aiming to join our competition team, Doogan Dance Academy has a class suitable for your needs.
To get a glimpse of the fun and excitement that takes place in our classes, take a look at our gallery featuring photos of our latest dance sessions. We are proud to be the result of the merger between two highly successful dance schools, The Gillian Doogan School of Dance and Ballet School of Dreams.
