About JK Performing Arts

JK Performing Arts is a dance and performing arts school at 449 St Asaph Street in Phillipstown, Christchurch. The website says it was started by Kirsty, who wanted a space where students of all ages and abilities could find and develop their talents. Classes include jazz, contemporary, tap, hip hop, lyrical, acrobatics and musical theatre, along with drama and singing. The school takes students from absolute beginners through to advanced performers, including those preparing for competitions or professional opportunities. It describes itself as one of Christchurch's leading dance schools and performance companies, and its website has a gallery of past performances and productions.

The website says the tutors are highly qualified and passionate, and encourages students to try as many styles as they can, which it says builds versatility and creativity. Because dance, drama, musical theatre and singing are taught in one school, a student can move between styles without changing where they train.
