Phoenix Belly Dance Classes in Auckland

ANNOUNCEMENT: Due to COVID-19 and NZ Government regulations, we have both online and in-person classes available to students. For us to adhere to good contact tracing practices, we would prefer that all students register and pay in advance using the form below.

Movement and social connection are so important at this time and we are excited at the ability to serve our community in new ways now, and into the future.
You can either attend casually or purchase the discounted multi-class packages. Both are valid for online and in person classes. There are some minor changes to our schedule so please see the timetable below.

You are invited to learn the art of Belly Dancing! Belly Dancing is a form of exercise with graceful dance moves, cultural heritage, and beautiful feminine creativity based on the folkloric and performance dance styles of the Middle East. It’s a great way to get fit, flexible, confident and work every muscle in your body while having fun!


What you'll get:

  • A fun way to exercise while gaining body confidence
  • A social and friendly learning environment where you'll get to meet other people
  • Professionally trained and award-winning teachers who will guide you through the movements to make sure you're having fun and moving safely
  • One of the biggest schools in New Zealand that hosts lots of student events, safe performance opportunities, dance retreats, and international teachers
  • Belly dancing is for everyone of any age, size or fitness level and no experience is necessary! 
  • "I never thought I'd say this but belly dancing is so much fun and it's not as easy at it looks! I love the challenge, the fun ladies that are learning with me and the comfortable environment we learn in. Plus, it's really great exercise too!" - Krystal S
  • "Phoenix classes and annual retreats are a highlight in my calendar. Candice has hit on an ideal combination of learning, having fun, and performance opportunities." - Suzanne M
Our classes are focused on fitness and fun with the education of the technical movements, history and culture of the various modern and folkloric styles of the Middle East, choreographies for optional performances, as well as fusion elements to give students a holistic experience that is all together challenging, fun, and rewarding.
