100% Pass Rate
50% Distinction

Our Jazz students achieved fantastic results through their dedication, perseverance and hard work, with an impressive 50% achieving Distinction!

For many of our students, this was their first NZAMD Jazz Grading. From countless hours of practice in class to stepping confidently into the examination room, every step reflects their commitment and the professional guidance of our teachers.

Grading is about more than just a result — it is a celebration of each dancer’s confidence, focus, dedication and growth. We are incredibly proud of every little dancer who challenged themselves and took this wonderful step forward!

A special thank you to all our parents for your continued support and encouragement, and to our teachers for their patience, expertise and dedication.

First Jazz Grading, a wonderful achievement and a great beginning!

Keep dancing, keep growing, and keep shining with confidence on the stage!

Congratulations to all our Jazz students!

A huge congratulations to our only participating dancer, Hannah, who beautifully represented our school at the highly competitive SAPACS Ballet Competition and achieved fantastic results!
