All dance classes are 60 minutes. Location 001 classes are held at Te Puna Memorial Hall Tauranga and 002 classes are held at the Black Sheep Studio – 21 Plummers Point Road Whakamarama. Check out our full schedule here.
PRIVATE TUITION
One-on-one attention is an amazing way to give our pre-juniors confidence in a new skill or technique. It can help them get up to speed if joining part-way through the year or gearing up for their first exams. If your child loves performing, we can arrange choreography and rehearsals for onstage dance competitions. Typically, performances at this age are under 2 minutes and we like to take 45minutes to teach 30seconds. Our performance package includes 5 private sessions, edited music and practice videos. Please email admin@victoryperformancecentre.com to arrange a time or select an opening via the jackrabbit student portal.
COSTS
Victory Performance Centre encourages ongoing enrolment for consistency in learning and personal relationships, both with fellow students and teachers. With fees payable each term, becoming a student means you’ll have access to our regular newsletters and studio events. New students are invited to get started with a free trial class with no commitment to continue. Once enrolled, we request cancellation prior to your next monthly invoice.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS
TECHNIQUE AND SKILL BUILDING
Classes are taught by well-trained and experienced professionals which prepare students for a successful transition to dance genres at a higher level. We keep the emphasis on fun though because that is the best way to learn.
MUSICALITY
Music drives our expression and movement in dance. We place emphasis at this age on: – basic counting, timing, rhythm, dynamics (soft, loud, quick, slow)
CREATIVITY AND EXPRESSION
Pre-junior classes encourage our little personalities to shine. Dance and drama go hand in hand and this is promoted through opportunities to create and move to the beat of their own drum.
CONFIDENCE
It is without a doubt that our classes will improve your child’s confidence. They will be supported and empowered to be the best they can be.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
We are very lucky at our location to have a waiting area that looks onto the dance floor. We ask that you please remain in the waiting area for the duration of the class. Remember to have this chat with your preschooler before attending your first class.
Bring along some water and maybe a doll, action figure or teddy, just in case your little one needs an extra friend to watch or dance with.
Your little one might like to dress up in a princess or superhero costume. This is the age where we start to encourage dance footwear so they can build foundational skills, such as stance, hip disassociation, foot articulation and floor pressure.
There are two annual, formal performances throughout our dancing year, a mid-year and end of year performance. The end of year performance even sports a costume to boot! If your child loves dancing at home and often creates their own dances and performances, the annual choreography competition is also open to this age group.
