Applause Dance Complex, formally known as ABH Dance was established in 1979 By Annette Brownlee Hooper. A former dancer herself, Annette has always had the natural flair of working with children and from a very young age, aspired to teach children to dance. Originally just a ballet school, Applause Dance has evolved into a dance school that provides top technical training in 9 different styles of dance.
​
Here at Applause, we are dedicated to providing professional technical training in a positive environment that focuses on the life skills of responsibility, punctuality, dependability and teamwork.
​
Our new studio complex offers the best facilities in NZ with air conditioning, sprung floors, barres, mirrors, upstairs viewing/waiting areas and free wifi.
