Classes
Open to people of all ages (5+) and abilities, Jolt’s weekly classes build on our dancers’ unique movements, extending and challenging them in ways that are both creative and authentic, and explore new ways for them to connect; artistically, physically, spatially, and socially.
If you would like more information about our classes, please contact Class Co-Ordinator Aleasha Seaward
Conditions of Registration
Classes
Classes run for 9 weeks per term, 4 terms per year.
Each class is run by an experienced tutor, supported by an assistant and a disability leader.
Please aim to arrive no later than 5 minutes before the scheduled start time.
Regular attendance is essential for the development of the dancers and cohesion of the class Please let your class tutor know of any planned absences.
Whānau are welcome to attend classes, to watch and support the learning of their dancer. The tutor may however ask whānau to step out of the class if they believe it is in the best interests of the dancer to do so.
Jolt encourages all dancers to participate independently, however some dancers may require one on one assistance to fully engage in the class. Where the tutor believes a dancer would benefit from such assistance, you will be required to supply an appropriate support person.
The primary line of communication for whānau is with your tutor, via email or in person before or after class. The class co-ordinator is also able to provide support.
Please let your tutor know if your contact details, or any other information gathered in the registration has changed.
You will be sent an invoice for class fees at the start of each term. Your prompt payment by direct bank transfer would be greatly appreciated.
Health and Safety
All dancers are required to show proof of vaccination to participate in classes and performances. Likewise, anyone else wishing to enter the class or performance space will be required to show proof of vaccination.
Jolt seeks to create an open, safe space for everyone. If incidents of intimidation or bullying arise, we reserve the right to ask the person involved to leave the premises immediately and if deemed necessary, remove the dancer permanently.
If a dancer requires assistance with toileting, you will need to provide appropriate support.
Please advise your class tutor if you have any special arrangements in place for the collection of dancers. While we are unable to take responsibility for dancers’ arrival and departure from class, we are happy to assist.

Move
Move provides a training pathway for people with intellectual disabilities to become dance teachers.
Trainees develop activities, choreography, and lesson plans under the direction of Jolt artistic staff and hone their pedagogical skills teaching weekly classes for people with complex disabilities on site and via zoom, and leading workshops in mainstream schools and rest homes - challenging the traditional paradigm by placing people with disabilities into leadership roles.
-
Projects
Jolt has developed a dynamic performance programme that is dancer focussed, sharing with audiences their unique movements, perspectives, connections, and stories. Performance projects have taken audiences, both with and without disabilities, to places they haven’t been before (places they didn’t know existed) and in doing so, have shown them new ways to see and understand the world.
-
Workshops
We are keen to share our skills and knowledge with others, and are able to offer bespoke programmes for both mainstream and disability sector groups.
