Students
Our Empowerdance New Zealand courses have been curated for students and professionals wishing to level up their training and expertise.
Students will study in a hybrid model with:
Face-to-face intensives
Zoom sessions (follow-ups)
Self-paced learning via our student portal
Whether you're a high school student who has spent years dedicated to dance, or a teacher who has been working in the industry and is ready to formalise your expertise, you've come to the right place.
All those hours in the studio, the discipline, the passion, the experience. What if they could count towards something that sets you apart for life?
At Empowerdance, our mission is to grow a generation of dancers and dance teachers who are passionate, skilled, and genuinely employable. Not just for their first job, but for a long and fulfilling career in the industry. Our nationally recognised qualifications deliver world-class dance education designed for tomorrow's leading professionals, built by a team of industry experts who know what it actually takes to succeed.
Our goal is simple: to help you reach yours.
DELIVERY
Your theory classes are delivered online through our virtual classroom with our experienced Empowerdance trainers and assessors, wherever you are in New Zealand.
Assessments are submitted through your personal online portal, Cloud Assess, which you'll access using your own secure login.
If you're completing a Certificate III in Dance or a Certificate III in Assistant Dance Teaching, you'll also work alongside a dance teacher in your preferred studio to gain real, practical teaching experience. These teachers become your mentors, providing one-on-one coaching and guidance that builds the hands-on skills that make you genuinely employable for years to come.
You'll need a reliable internet connection to access your learning portal and online resources throughout your studies.
ENROLMENT & PRICING
Empowerdance is committed to making quality dance education accessible to passionate dancers and teachers across New Zealand, and we offer flexible payment options tailored to your individual circumstances. We are always happy to have that conversation.
Students will need a minimum of three years of prior dance experience.
To secure your place, a deposit is required at the time of enrolment. Course fees can then be paid in advance by the term, or in weekly or fortnightly instalments paid two weeks ahead.
Get in touch with us for current pricing and enrolment information.
RECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNING (RPL)
In some cases, students may be able to apply for RPL if they have previously achieved the learning outcomes for an accredited unit through Nationally Recognised Training. Empowerdance will offer RPL for all units where there is enough evidence to support the application.
The availability of RPL will depend on the students’ experience, qualifications and evidence as well as relevant training package guidelines.
Students will be informed in writing with the results of the RPL application prior to the commencement of the relevant course session.
