Southern Ballet Studio 4

Welcome to Southern Ballet Studio 4, an esteemed institution located in Christchurch, New Zealand. Situated at 85 Hawdon Street, our establishment is a point of interest for aspiring dancers and dance enthusiasts alike.

Since our establishment in 1974 by Miss Lorraine Peters, Southern Ballet has built an outstanding reputation for excellence in Classical Ballet technique. Our students strive for perfection in their physical training, which forms the core of their development as young dancers. Many of our students have gone on to achieve distinction in their careers, performing as principal dancers both in New Zealand and internationally.

At Southern Ballet, we are proud to be affiliated with prestigious organizations such as the British Ballet Organisation, The Royal Academy of Dance, and the New Zealand Academy of Modern Dance. These affiliations demand a high standard from both our teachers and students, and their training syllabi are dedicated to the achievement of that standard.

We offer a wide range of dance classes for students of all ages and levels. Our classes cater to Beginner students (aged 3-5), Junior students (aged 5-12), Senior students (aged 12 and above), as well as Adults. For our most dedicated students, we have our own Ballet & Modern Dance Companies, providing them with opportunities to showcase their talent. Additionally, we offer Pre-Professional Programs for students who wish to pursue a career in dance.

At Southern Ballet, we believe in training dancers through the joy of learning dance. Our philosophy is to inspire confidence in all our students, develop their movement and deportment skills, and above all, expand their imagination and appreciation for music, from classical ballet to modern jazz.

Join us for our exciting events, such as the fun-filled dance extravaganza featuring Southern Ballet's Senior, Intermediate, and Junior Jazz Companies. We also host Gala Performances showcasing the beauty of Classical, Jazz, and Contemporary Dance.

Located at 108 Carlyle Street in Sydenham, Christchurch, our studio is easily accessible for students and visitors alike. Come and experience the magic of dance at Southern Ballet Studio 4.
