Welcome to The Renaissance School of Dance
About the Renaissance School of Dance
Located in the Auckland suburb of Papatoetoe, The Renaissance School of Dance is the most comprehensive dance facility within the Manukau region – for over 20 years!
The teachers at The Renaissance School of Dance have a range of experience across multiple disciplines and dance styles. Our collective approach is to share our love of dance while being supportive and encouraging so we develop confident and capable people, not just dancers.
It is important to us that our team, students and member families share our vision, our purpose and the philosophy that encompasses everything we do. This is a vision that is shared and demonstrated by the directors, teachers and staff members at our studio and it is the driving force behind every interaction with our students and their families.
We know your goal as a parent is to foster confidence, build resilience and provide opportunities for your little one to thrive and shine – that’s our goals for our dancers too! Or it might simply be to have less screen time, more physical activity and develop new skills – either way, we have a class for you!

Our Values
We're a Values Based business..
- Aroha: We care. We love what we do. We are always genuine and authentic. We exist for the joy of dance and we want everyone to have an opportunity to learn to dance.
- Growth: We are hungry for and committed to achievement. There’s always a lesson to be learnt in everything that we do, big and small. We encourage growth in our students. Growth looks different for everyone & we support everyone individually.
- Belonging: Everyone is welcome at our place. We create a safe place for them to be themselves. There is no perfect type for a dancer – anyone can dance. We celebrate individuality and support everyone to enjoy dancing.
- Appreciation: We respect and appreciate everyone for what they contribute. We are honoured to be part of your child’s journey. We support each other to make things easier for the wider team.
- Pride: We are humbly confident. We take pride in our work and pride in what we achieve individually and together. We celebrate successes at all levels. We measure in terms of improvement rather than comparing.
