They have taught thousands of individuals and couples the art of ballroom dancing throughout their career.

At InStep Dance Studio, lessons, and classes are available for various levels, including beginners, improvers, wedding couples, medallists, and competitors. The beginner classes, which span 10 weeks, cover the basics of popular dances like Foxtrot, Waltz, Quickstep, Cha Cha, and Jive. These classes provide participants with the skills and confidence to dance comfortably at any social function.

While having a partner may be advantageous, it is not essential to join the classes at InStep Dance Studio. Partners are rotated occasionally during lessons to improve participants' “leading and following” abilities.

The dance classes and private lessons take place in a specially designed dance studio in Whangarei, which provides a conducive environment for learning and practising various dance styles.

In addition to their regular classes, InStep Dance Studio also provides dance functions, medal tests, and wedding dance tuition, ranging from basic dances to choreographed masterpieces.
