About Us
At Dance ffun Studio (read as dance for fun) the emphasis is on FUN through movement. As a registered qualified Royal Academy of Dance Teaher with 26 years experience in South Africa and in my 9th year as Teacher in New Zealand I want to bring the joy of Dance to as many children as possible.
Cost is kept to the minimum: Leotards may be of any colour or style and we get Ballet shoes at a good price.
