CLASSES & TIMETABLE
We offer a wide range of classes at Visionary, designed to suit dancers of all ages and abilities. While our classes are grouped by age, from our Junior level onwards they are also divided into different streams. This ensures each class is tailored not only to a dancer’s ability, but also to their individual goals and level of commitment. Our Tap and Ballet classes have been designed alongside a syllabus, these work outside of our usual age groups and streams. We work with each dancer to find them the best fit for these speciality styles.
Not sure which option is the best fit? You can explore all of our class offerings below. If you’re still unsure, no problem, our first two weeks of each term run on a trial basis. During this time, our studio directors and class teachers assess each dancer and provide guidance, helping place them in the classes and streams where they will feel most confident, supported, and able to thrive.

IN COLLABORATION WITH CANTERBURY BALLET & DANCE ACADEMY
We are proud to collaborate with Canterbury Ballet and Dance Academy, creating a pathway that enriches our students’ training through shared knowledge, experience, and a unified passion for dance. This partnership allows our dancers to benefit from the expertise of both schools, working together to provide a well-rounded and supportive learning environment.
Through this collaboration, students are exposed to a broader range of teaching styles and industry insight, helping them grow in confidence, adaptability, and performance quality. Our shared values of discipline, creativity, and excellence ensure that every dancer is encouraged to reach their full potential while feeling supported every step of the way.
As part of this partnership, students are also introduced to the American Ballet Theatre (ABT) National Training Curriculum, a globally recognised syllabus that supports strong technical foundations, correct alignment, and safe, progressive development as well as the opportunity to complete examinations.
