We look forward to our dance classes each week! Loads of fun and great exercise! We were absolute beginners when we started, but JBC has taught us so much and it’s great being able to learn in a friendly, relaxed environment where we can learn at our own pace. I highly recommend you give this a go if you’ve ever been keen to try dancing! 🙂

About Our Teachers

Janita and Barry Clark have practised Ballroom, Latin,
New Vogue, and Rock'n'Roll dance for over 27 years.

After winning local competitions and ranking in the
top 6 at the National level, they decided to give back to the Christchurch dance community
by taking their expertise and passion for dance and directing it towards teaching.

Janita received her Associate Degree in Ballroom Dance and New Vogue Dance through
the NZ Federation of Dance Teachers.
She is also currently studying for her
Associate Degree in Latin Dance.

Both Janita and Barry are qualified scrutineers
in the Skating System of Adjudication through the British Dance Council,
and Janita adjudicates regularly at local competitions.
With JBC, Janita and Barry now take immense pride in
imparting their same excitement, knowledge, and
skills to others, with the hope that sharing their love for dance shall encourage the Christchurch and New Zealand dance communities to continue flourishing.
