Dance

The dance department at Papakura High School is all about nurturing students’ creativity and individuality, turning ideas into complex and interesting movement. We place equal focus on performance, encouraging confidence, stage presence, and the ability to connect with an audience. Students are not only learning how to dance in this subject. They are creating and shaping their identity as individuals.
