How your child will spend their week: 

At emki, we are student-focused. This means we prioritize an interactive learning environment that not only helps children learn, but allows kids to be kids and have heaps of fun.

The dance school holiday program is for energetic kids of all experience levels who love to move. Tamariki can join from 1 - 5 days.

During the Dance school holiday programme, your child will be immersed in different vibrant cultures through dance. We’ll spend each day learning and practicing a fun and entertaining dance routine and working on crafting traditional dance wear.

Students will also get a chance to prepare and munch on simple traditional snacks, listen to traditional stories, engage in sing-along songs and make crafts.
