About Us

Officially established in 2021 in Christchurch, Summer Studios has become a secure and inclusive haven for women and youth. We're dedicated to mutual support and fostering an environment where movers can freely express themselves and venture into new territories.

Our team of tutors brings over 30 years of experience in the dance space. With their expertise, we've built a place where individuals can truly explore and showcase their talents.

What We Do

Summer Studios is where artistry meets warmth and inclusivity. At our studio, we don't just offer dance classes; we create a sanctuary where people embark on their artistic journeys and watch their talents blossom. Our dedicated team of tutors provides a nurturing environment that allows participants to thrive and express themselves freely.

Community is at the heart of everything we do. We take immense pride in serving our community and find pure joy in connecting with each and every individual. Our members' presence and active participation enrich our studio experience, and we treasure the meaningful relationships we build along the way.
