Right in the middle of the April school holidays, a large group of our dancers took part in the four-day Tititea Performing Arts Dance Competition, held at the Lake Wānaka Centre and adjudicated by Lana Jones & Daniel Gaudiello from Australia. We saw stage debuts, Novice dancers stepping onto the competition stage for the very first time, and plenty of growth and improvement across all performances. Congratulations to every dancer for your commitment, courage, and beautiful performances throughout the weekend. Competitions are just one of the many opportunities to perform, and the journey is never about comparison or outshining others, but about personal progression, finding your voice, and developing authenticity as an artist along the way. While we are proud to acknowledge the results achieved, we are even more proud of the dedication, consistency, and hard work happening inside the studio day after day, week after week.  A huge thank you to the @tititea_performing_arts_trust and all the volunteers who made the event run so smoothly, and to our amazing CP dancers, teachers, choreographers, coaches, and families for your ongoing support. Full results follow  🤍

Last Monday, a group of our CP dancers and teachers had the incredible opportunity to attend the @brentstreet Workshop in Queenstown — an inspiring afternoon/evening filled with high-level training, creativity, challenge and so much passion for dance 🔥 A huge thank you to Brent Street industry tutors @stephentannos , @jacobyarr and @_kenz.j_ for sharing your talent, knowledge and energy so generously throughout the workshop. Our dancers left feeling inspired, motivated and excited to continue growing as dancers, performers and artists. Experiences like these are so valuable for young dancers — providing the chance to learn from leading industry professionals, push beyond comfort zones, and connect with others who share the same love of dance ✨ We are also incredibly proud to celebrate Casey, who was awarded the Brent Street Winter Camp Scholarship for 2026 — the only scholarship awarded at the Queenstown workshop! An outstanding achievement and such a well deserved recognition of her hard work, talent and dedication. Go Casey!!! 👏🏻 Thank you Brent Street for bringing such an amazing experience to Queenstown once again 🫶🏻 #CentralpointDanceStudios #BrentStreetTour #DanceWorkshop #Queenstown #DanceTraining

Wishing a very Happy Mother’s Day to all the Mums, Mums to be and mother figures in our Centralpoint Dance Studios family 💐 The hands carefully pinning numbers in place, packing dance bags, sitting quietly in waiting rooms, helping with practice at home, juggling busy schedules, cheering from the audience, and supporting their dancer through every class, rehearsal or performance — thank you for the love, encouragement and care you give every single day. We also recognise that Mother’s Day can bring many different emotions, and today we are holding space for those who may find this day difficult too. 🤍 Those missing their mum 🤍 Those longing to be mums 🤍 Mums who have experienced loss and grief 🤍 Single mums, step mums, foster and adoptive mums 🤍 All of the incredible people who simply step up with love and care Sending a little love on through, from our dance family to yours 🤍✨

A huge thank you to all our amazing supporters who came along to our Disco & Pizza Night fundraiser last night! 🪩🍕 What a fun evening it was…full of energy, laughter, and great vibes from start to finish. We’re so proud of the incredible group of young people who worked so hard to make it all happen and grateful for everyone who came along to dance with us. You all made the night truly special! This fundraiser will directly help our lyrical troupe on their journey to the National Young Performer Awards in Palmerston North later this year, and we’re so appreciative for the support behind them. A big shoutout as well to Sal’s Pizza Wānaka for the delicious pizzas we really appreciated your generosity! Thank you again to everyone who came along and supported us and we’re already looking forward to planning our next party!!!🎉 🤍

We’re so excited to see Mount Aspiring College bring Chicago – The Teen Edition to life, opening tonight at the Lake Wānaka Centre ✨ Wishing all the very best to our Centralpoint dancers — past and present — and to every student, teacher, and creative involved in this incredible production. We know the stage will be full of talent, energy, and hard work paying off 💫 Break a leg!!! 📷 @mountaspiringcollege

Lest we forget ❤️ Centralpoint Dance Studios will be closed on: Saturday 25 April Monday 27 April as we take time to acknowledge and remember Anzac Day. Enjoy the long weekend with your family & friends and we look forward to welcoming everyone back in the studio on Tuesday ✨

Welcome back to Term 2! We hope you’ve all had a chance to rest, reset, and recharge over the holidays — and maybe even found a moment or two to move, stretch, or dance just for you. A new term brings fresh energy, new goals, and more opportunities to grow. Whether you’re stepping back into the studio feeling motivated, a little nervous, or somewhere in between — just know that showing up is what matters most. Let’s focus on progress over perfection, support each other, and make the most of every class. There’s so much to look forward to this term and we can’t wait to see you all back doing what you love. Let’s get to work!🤍✨

See you tomorrow @centralpoint_dance_studios 💜💜💜💜 DM to book

We’re now one week into the holidays… and this is usually when you might start to find yourself dancing around the house and missing your weekly classes 😉 If you’re feeling that little itch to move, stretch, or dance, it’s the perfect time to jump back into it in your own way. Don’t forget your class BAND app is there for you — with videos, music, and updates of material and topics we have covered in Term 1. It’s a great way to keep things fresh, build confidence…or simply enjoy moving again. Enjoy the rest of your break, and we can’t wait to see you back in the studios soon 🤍✨
