Danzworx Dance School has been part of the Upper Hutt community for 30 years, under the direction of the wonderful Katrina Robinson-Reidy. In 2025, Danzworx became part of Arts a Go Go, still under the creative leadership of Katrina.

 

Our American Jazz classes follow the NZAMD Jazz syllabus as well as include open work. They teach the basic fundamentals of Jazz while encouraging students to explore their own sense of style. Students have the opportunity to sit exams at the discretion of the teacher, and also prepare a dance for the Danzworx stage show.

 

The core principles at Danzworx encourage students to:

 

Gain Confidence

Increase fitness

Increase body awareness

Achieve a positive and confident attitude in all areas of life through movement and music.

 

We are inclusive and supportive and believe that our teachers and students work together to create a class environment of security and fun.

 

Head teacher Katrina and the dance teachers share their passion for dance and their enthusiasm for teaching with each and every one of their students. 

 

"Dance is a fundamental need for all and to be able to utilise movement as a way to communicate needs and allow expression of self is incredibly empowering. I'm so privileged to be a part of these journeys." - Katrina

 

Parents and caregivers may observe the Danzworx classes. If staying, we do ask that parents and siblings do not affect the concentration and creativity of the children as they build confidence in the performing arts.
