High Frequency Dance is an Auckland dance fitness studio running a weekly programme of group classes under the High Frequency name. Its base is listed at 100 Motions Road in Westmere — home to TAPAC, The Auckland Performing Arts Centre — but the timetable travels across the city, with sessions also held at En Beat Dance Academy in Wairau and Empire Studios on Saturday mornings.
The format is dance fitness: structured group classes where the workout comes set to music and shared with a room full of regulars. Classes run Monday and Wednesday evenings at 6:35 pm at TAPAC, Thursday evenings at 6:35 pm at En Beat in Wairau, and Saturday mornings at 8:00 am at Empire Studios. A dedicated FREQ FUNDAMENTALS session, listed on the schedule at En Beat Dance Academy in Wairau, gives newcomers a place to get to grips with the basics. Sessions are led by a close-knit instructor team — Ashley, Steph, Sarah, Sheri, Dayna and Mikayla — often teaching in pairs or threes.
Booking lives online through the studio's Punchpass page: the schedule is published in list or calendar form, class passes are purchased from the online catalog once you've created an account and signed in, and calendar feeds let members sync up to three months of upcoming classes to their own devices. Whether you're after an after-work session or an early Saturday start, the latest dates, venues and instructors are always on the schedule.
High Frequency Dance is an Auckland dance fitness studio with a simple pitch: a workout that feels like a night of dancing. Running under the High Frequency name, the studio keeps a rolling weekly timetable of group classes across three Auckland venues, with its home listed at 100 Motions Road in Westmere — the site of TAPAC, The Auckland Performing Arts Centre.
Rather than asking everyone to come to one room, High Frequency spreads its classes across the city. Monday and Wednesday nights belong to TAPAC in Westmere, Thursdays move to En Beat Dance Academy in Wairau, and Saturday mornings round out the week at Empire Studios. Same class name on every door; three different neighbourhoods to choose from.
The schedule runs to a steady rhythm. On Mondays and Wednesdays, the High Frequency class starts at 6:35 pm at TAPAC, The Auckland Performing Arts Centre on Motions Road. Thursdays keep the same 6:35 pm start but shift to En Beat Dance Academy at 17/46 Ellice Road in Wairau. Saturdays start much earlier — the High Frequency Saturday class kicks off at 8:00 am at Empire Studios, for those who like their weekend earned before breakfast.
Alongside the weekly sessions, the timetable also lists FREQ FUNDAMENTALS, a dedicated class at En Beat Dance Academy in Wairau shown at 6:30 pm on a Friday on the current schedule. As the name suggests, this is where the building blocks get learned — a natural starting point if the idea of walking into a full dance fitness class cold feels like a big first step.
Upcoming dates for every class are published on the studio's online schedule, so it's easy to see which instructors are on and where each session lands before you commit.
One quirk worth knowing: classes at High Frequency are led by instructor teams rather than one resident teacher. The timetable rotates through a group of six — Ashley, Steph, Sarah, Sheri, Dayna and Mikayla — in different combinations. A Monday at TAPAC might be listed as Steph, Dayna and Ashley; Wednesday nights as Ashley, Sarah and Sheri; Thursdays as Dayna and Mikayla; Saturdays as Steph, Sarah and Mikayla. For regulars, that means getting to know several teachers' styles rather than settling into just one.
Everything runs through the studio's Punchpass-powered site. The schedule can be browsed as a simple list or as a calendar, and joining a class means creating an account, signing in and purchasing a class pass from the online catalog — the site prompts you to log in before you can buy. Once you're set up, calendar feeds do the remembering for you: subscribing pulls classes scheduled up to three months into the future (plus a month of past classes) straight into your calendar app. Private sessions and appointments aren't included in the feed.
A practical note before your first class: because the timetable moves between venues, double-check the address attached to your date. TAPAC, En Beat in Wairau and Empire Studios are three separate destinations, and turning up to the right class in the wrong suburb is an easy mistake to make.
The week offers enough slots — two Westmere evenings, a Wairau weeknight, a fundamentals session in the mix and an early Saturday — that most schedules can find a home in it. Check the latest timetable, pick your night and venue, sort a class pass online, and the next High Frequency session is a login away.
