extreme opportunities
Want to take your dance skills to the next level?
At Extreme Dance, we encourage and support students as they set goals and work towards achieving them.
In addition to weekly classes, students are offered a wide range of opportunities to extend and enhance their learning,
and to grow as performers.
As a studio that values the growth, development and commitment of our dancers of all ages, it’s our pleasure to offer exams and assessments to students who take Ballet, Jazz, Contemporary and Lyrical classes as part of our programme.
While exams and assessments are not compulsory, our experience shows that these formal assessments present a unique opportunity with several key benefits:
Offering students a challenge, and a goal to work towards
Providing a ‘measuring stick’ of the student’s progress
A special occasion to look forward to.
A tangible sense of achievement
In addition to this, senior-level exams can build towards qualifications for aspiring teachers and performers.
Our teachers are registered and accredited to enter students for exams with the Royal Academy of Dance, British Theatre Dance Association and New Zealand Association of Modern Dance.
We offer all students (from ages 3 and up) the opportunity to perform on stage each year.
We alternate each year between a Family Performance or a Concert.
A Family Performance is a relaxed affair at a local venue, giving family and friends the opportunity to see the students in action.
An Extreme Dance Concert is a full-scale theatrical show, in a professional theatre with fabulous costumes, sets, stage lighting and special effects.
Students are selected for Extreme Dance’s performance teams based on ability, reliability, and attitude.
Although it is an honour to be in one of these groups, it is also a large responsibility and commitment. Our competition teams perform at local and national competitions, and also at community events throughout the year, and represent Extreme Dance with pride.
Our focus is on teamwork, supporting each other and always doing your best. If your child has plenty of energy and loves to shine on stage, contact us to find out more.
Selections for Performance groups are made during the year, and invitations are sent out in December for the following year.
Competition is all about working towards a goal and doing your best. It’s a great way to develop technique and stagecraft, and meet other like-minded dancers from throughout the Wellington region and beyond.
Selections for soloists are made during the year, and invitations are sent out in December for the following year. In most cases, dancers will be part of a performance team before they are offered a solo.
We are proud to offer students the opportunity to attend workshops both locally and throughout New Zealand. This is a great way to learn new skills, try new styles, and be inspired!
Where possible we bring guest tutors to Extreme Dance to run workshops and facilitate students attending courses, intensives and seminars off-site.
In the past, we have taken groups of dancers on trips overseas to Australia and the USA and we look forward to this becoming a possibility again in years to come.
The DanceStep programme empowers students to serve as role models, grow as leaders and care for others in their dance studio community.
Available to dancers from the age of 11, our student teachers develop leadership skills, inspire young dancers and explore dance education though hands-on experience.
This program provides an excellent foundation for those who are passionate about dance and eager to inspire future generations of dancers.
Whether your goal is to reach the world stage or simply build new skills, we have a class for you.

Testimonials
Luna has had two terms at extreme dance and absolutely loves it! She started at 4 years old and although she was a bit shy at first, the extreme dance teachers were amazing at helping her relax and enjoy moving her body. Her confidence has grown inside and outside of the studio. She loves that I can watch her First Steps class on the big screen in the waiting area, and we both enjoy talking about the moves she learned after class. I highly recommend extreme dance to any future “dance mums” and kids out there.
JANELLE
Extreme dance is my kids second home, the teachers and their friends are like a second family (which is so important when they spend so much time there!). They learn so much from the amazing teachers, who 100% have the kids best interests at heart when it comes to dance and them growing as a person and they have built such amazing and strong friendships with the other dancers. Both the teachers and kids are so supportive of each other and I couldn’t ask for a better dance studio for my kids to attend.
