Studio 246 is a large dance studio on Forrest Hill Road in Forrest Hill, on Auckland's North Shore. It operates from purpose-built studios and describes itself as a second home for its students. The studio's own classes are for boys, girls and adults, and cover jazz, ballet, tap, hip hop, lyrical, contemporary, acro, PBT and musical theatre, which includes drama and vocal work. Classes are taught by qualified and experienced teachers. Students range from 2 to 92 years old across the studio and its sister programme, Toddler Toes.
Toddler Toes is for children under five, including toddlers and pre-schoolers, and it has been running on the North Shore for more than 20 years. The studio is open six days a week. Students can take part in concerts, in-house and national competitions, holiday programmes, workshops and local displays, and exams are offered in tap, ballet, contemporary and jazz. Enrolment and class bookings are made through the website, and Toddler Toes does not require enrolment. One parent says the teachers are professional and talented, and that the studio values every student. For a North Shore family looking for a dance school with classes from toddlers to adults, Studio 246 is a good fit.
