Southern Ballet Senior School

Southern Ballet Studio 4, a local Southern Ballet Club based in Christchurch, is excited to promote their upcoming Contemporary Dance event. This event is perfect for anyone who is interested in exploring the world of dance and showcasing their talent.

The Southern Ballet Senior School is the place to be for students aged 12 and above who have a passion for dance. Offering classes in ballet, jazz, and contemporary dance, the club aims to provide a diverse range of opportunities for its members. The senior ballet students have the option of choosing between the British Ballet Organisation (BBO) and the Royal Academy of Dance (RAD) syllabi, allowing them to tailor their dance education to their individual preferences.

For those who prefer jazz and contemporary dance, Southern Ballet Studio 4 follows the syllabus of the New Zealand Association of Modern Dance (NZAMD). These classes take students on a journey to further develop their dance capabilities, building upon the fundamental skills they learned in the junior school. It's all about taking those dance skills to the next level!

Throughout the year, Southern Ballet Studio 4 hosts annual exams for various disciplines. BBO Ballet exams are held in October, while RAD Ballet, jazz, and contemporary exams take place in August. As a prerequisite for the exam process, students are required to attend an exam school during the holidays. This ensures that they are well-prepared to showcase their talent and progress in these exams.

But the excitement doesn't stop there! The end of year production, involving both junior and senior school students, is a highlight for everyone involved. This spectacular event takes place at the esteemed Isaac Theatre Royal, providing a grand stage for dancers to shine. It truly is a culmination of hard work and dedication throughout the year.

Southern Ballet Studio 4 goes above and beyond the syllabus classes. The club offers additional classes such as Open Ballet and Boys Open Ballet, catering to a wide range of interests and abilities. On top of that, they have Stretch & Conditioning classes, which provide specialised coaching using current therapies in exercise science. These classes aim to enhance flexibility, strength, and overall dance performance.

Private lessons are also available for those who wish to take their dance skills to the next level. Designed to enhance a student's ability for competitions and examinations, these one-on-one sessions offer personalised attention and guidance from experienced dance instructors.

So, if you're looking to explore the world of dance and showcase your talent, Southern Ballet Studio 4 is the place to be. Join this vibrant and dedicated community and take part in their upcoming Contemporary Dance event. Get ready to unleash your creativity, express yourself through dance, and have an unforgettable experience. Don't miss out on this opportunity to be part of something truly special!
