OUR STORY

Black background with a white stylized monogram logo.

The past

Ace Dance Studios was established in January 2022, founded by Keyana Beecroft and Natalya Jackson. Our goal is to provide Christchurch dancers with a safe and authentic space to express themselves fully through hip-hop dance while honing their skills and competing. Our journey began with just four incredible competition teams, training diligently in various studios and spacious environments. In September 2022, thanks to funding, we were lucky enough to lease our own studio space for all our teams to come together and have a small home away from home.

The present

At Ace, our dance offerings have expanded to encompass all age groups, from young beginners to adult competition veterans. We're thrilled to share that we've doubled in size and reached new heights in both our business growth and passion for dance. As we look ahead, our mission remains steadfast: to continue this remarkable journey, providing exceptional dance experiences for all, and nurturing our vibrant community.
