Zone Dance Academy is a family dance studio on Marina View in Paremata, Porirua, close to the marina. Its website names ballet, hip hop, contemporary and jazz among the styles taught, and says the teachers take beginners and experienced dancers alike. The studio describes itself as a relaxed, family-friendly place where students are known as individuals, and where parents can watch the classes as they go.
Beyond weekly classes, the studio runs in-studio performance opportunities, workshops with tutors from other parts of the world, and trips to dance weekends during the year. Those extras give the school a wider reach than a local class alone. For a family in Paremata or the wider Porirua area looking for a dance school for a child who wants to grow in confidence as well as technique, it is one to put on the list.
