Shore Dance is a dance school at 17 Enterprise Street in Birkenhead, on Auckland's North Shore, and it has been running since 2008. It teaches ballet, jazz, contemporary, tap, hip hop, musical theatre, acro and lyrical classes, from pre-schoolers at around age three through to adults. The school teaches the Royal Academy of Dance ballet syllabus and Asia Pacific Dance Association syllabi for jazz, tap, contemporary, hip hop and musical theatre, and students can sit annual examinations. Anyone unsure which class suits them can arrange a free trial class.
The premises have two studios that can be opened into one larger space, with polished wooden floors, barres and mirrors, plus a large waiting area with viewing windows into each studio. There is also a uniform shop on site. Parents who wrote about the school say the communication by email is timely, covering class times, events and exams, and that the teachers made them welcome from the first day. One family says the school gave their daughter more confidence after a few unhappy years at another studio. Students get music and videos to practise at home.
