Southern Dance Academy

Welcome to Southern Dance Academy (SDA), located in Balclutha, New Zealand. Situated on John Street, our institution stands as an establishment and point of interest for aspiring dancers in Clutha and the surrounding districts.

SDA was founded with a passion to provide a platform for individuals to express their creativity through dance and movement. Our unique program offers a nurturing environment where dancers can explore their potential and develop their skills to their fullest.

At SDA, we pride ourselves on being a faith-based institution, guided by the Christian values of Respect, Honour, and Integrity. These values are deeply ingrained in everything we do, from the selection of our music and choreography to the choice of modest attire for our dancers. We believe in promoting a positive and uplifting atmosphere that aligns with our values and allows dancers to thrive both on and off the stage.

Our dedicated team of experienced instructors is committed to providing top-notch training and guidance to our students. Whether you are a beginner taking your first steps in the world of dance or an experienced dancer looking to refine your skills, SDA offers a range of classes tailored to suit all levels and ages. From classical ballet to contemporary, jazz to hip-hop, our diverse range of dance styles ensures there is something for everyone.

In addition to our regular classes, SDA also offers performance opportunities for our students to showcase their talents. We organize annual recitals and participate in local dance competitions, providing a platform for our dancers to gain invaluable stage experience and build confidence.

We understand the importance of a well-rounded dance education, which is why we emphasize the development of technique, artistry, and discipline in our classes. Our goal is not only to teach dance but also to instill a love for the art form and foster a supportive community of dancers.
