About Movement Art Practice | Dance Studio
Welcome to Movement Art Practice | Dance Studio, located at 76 Hawdon Street, Christchurch, New Zealand. As a community dance organization and charitable trust, MAP is dedicated to nurturing the movement sector in Ōtautahi Christchurch and beyond.
At MAP, we believe in the power of movement art to connect, sustain, create, and appreciate. We offer a range of exciting opportunities for both local and international artists. Through our residencies, we provide a platform for artists to explore and develop their craft. Our Community Choreographic Project offers local movers the chance to showcase their talent, while our publication, The Map, allows artists to share their insights and experiences in the world of dance.
But MAP isn't just for artists. We also offer movement classes for all people and bodies. Whether you're a seasoned dancer or a complete beginner, our weekly classes are designed to improve your wellbeing and provide a space for you to explore and connect with your body. Our central city studio in Sydenham is the perfect place to unleash your creativity and discover the joy of creative movement.
Looking for a place to research, train, or rehearse? MAP provides affordable studio time for dancers, choreographers, and collectives. Whether you need a regular slot or a one-off session, our studio is equipped to meet your needs.
For those seeking a deeper dive into their practice, we offer full-time one-month residencies for dance and movement artists. This immersive experience allows artists to fully immerse themselves in their craft and share their work with the public. Applications for residencies open once a year, and a panel of practicing artists selects the participants.
As a registered not-for-profit organization, MAP relies on the support of the public to continue our mission. By choosing to dance with us or supporting us financially, you are helping us sustain and grow the movement art community in Christchurch. Our registered charity number is CC51232.
Join us at Movement Art Practice | Dance Studio and let your body and creativity soar. Whether you're looking for a physical challenge, a way to lower anxiety, or simply a space to reconnect with your body, you'll find what you need at MAP.

Reviews of Movement Art Practice | Dance Studio
"Super valuable part of the arts and dance community on Ōtautahi."
"So glad to have found this space. Attending Māori movement class and it has been so welcoming, fun and a wonderful way to reconnect with my love of dance and movement."
"Really loving the Māori movement classes. Super welcoming crew, great studio and fun class."
"Amazing dance studio with a range of classes for adults & kids, including contemporary dance (which some people call “Modern dance”), Māori movement, Mindful movement (that helps with the mind-body connection and de-stressing), Muscle & Bone (which is a fun workout), as well as creative kids classes, one-off workshops, showings from in-house artists, and they even run a dance/performance festival called Tiny Fest. Every class, event and showing I’ve gone to has been filled with kindness, inclusion, professionalism, and connection. I cannot recommend MAP highly enough."
