About Swarm Studios CHC

Located within the city of Christchurch, Swarm Studios exists to train and inspire people to be the best version of themselves, predominantly through dance and music. We have 5 dance studios worldwide and offer classes, crews, and private lessons for students of all ages and abilities. Our strength is hip hop dance classes with a focus on strengthening techniques that support this style.

We are committed to diversity, creativity, respect, and love for all people. You leave our spaces better and brighter than you came in. Whether you are aiming for a professional career, looking to stay fit, or have recently though about giving dance a try, we have a class for you!!

We believe in the whole person and create our training in a way that aims at developing not only skill in their certain art form but also, encourages values that students can carry throughout their lives. Our collective approach is to share our love of dance while being encouraging, excellent, and positive.

This is more than a supportive creative community, it’s family. Join the fam!

Our Values

  • Here at Swarm Studios we respect others. We carry a high admiration for the studio and everyone involved. This is shown through encouraging and celebrating other dancers, listening to our tutors, keeping our space clean and tidy and returning to our trainings having practiced what we’ve done in class.

  • Time is important to us because we can achieve more and grow faster when we focus our time effectively. We endeavour to be on time to every training and communicate if we are going to be late. We use our time at the studio wisely by staying focused and practicing even when we are not asked. We also use our time at home to create good habits and make ourselves the best that we can.

  • Honour is the quality of knowing and doing what is morally right. We value honour at Swarm Studios because we want to be the best version of ourselves. This means we don’t gossip, we always uplift and encourage others and we are kind to ourselves and our growth within our craft.

  • We work hard at Swarm Studios. We value this because it takes hard work to be great at anything and we therefore encourage this in every area of our life. While in classes and crew trainings we are committed to working as hard a we can to ensure we are using our time wisely and respecting our tutors. Dreams and goals take a lot of determination, discipline and hard work, and that is why it is one of our values. We want our dreams to become reality.
