Whilst it’s definitely rare for a qualified Irish dance adjudicator and teacher to be an original cast member of Motherhood The Musical, Miss Ziggy toured around Australia originating the role of Brooke in this comedy for many return seasons after a career treading the boards as a professional dancer and performer for over 3 decades.

Ziggy’s professional career started at just 16 years old in the cast of Gypsy at Auckland’s Mercury Theatre whilst still at high school and has gone on to include national tours of musicals such as Mamma Mia!, Les Misérables 10th Anniversary Tour and Godspell. Overseas tours include hosting Disney productions, playing Queen Ursula from The Little Mermaid and Mrs Potts from Beauty & the Beast.

In her work as an operatic vocalist, Ziggy featured in the operatic comedy duo Yummy Opera, written & produced by Glynn Nicholas and her acts, Miss ZuzuYooHooLala & swing/jazz act Sweet Swingin’ Jazz. Originally a dancer with Head Over Heelz Dance Company in New Zealand, Ziggy was determined to polish her skills as a singer/actor and went on to graduate ‘Most Promising Music Theatre Graduate’ of her year at WAAPA (West Australian Academy of Performing Arts) and has since featured in several TV & film projects from Neighbours, to 000 -Heroes, Kerry-Anne, Good Morning Australia and City Homicide.

Yes. You can purchase them at reception & if we don’t have them in your size, we can order them  in for your next class.  

Irish Dance shoes, for both soft and hard shoes, can take a couple of weeks to arrive from the  supplier. 

For Beginners in Irish dance, or dancers returning to Irish dance after a break, we recommend  wearing clean runners or supportive shoes to your first 6weeks or so of classes.

Wear what you are comfortable in for your first class – as long it’s not loose around the ankle.  Things like a T-shirt & leggings or active wear work well. 

When you sign up on a package after your first class, you may find your Artz Collective T-shirt, or  a credit toward your leggings or leotard are included!

Our Beginners classes are for adults who haven’t danced or haven’t done that particular style of  dance before so are specially designed to give beginner dancers confidence, knowledge and  move slowly, concentrating on technique & basics. 

There are plenty of like minded people in the class just starting out, just like you. 

Some beginners may have more experience than others, so your teacher may challenge these  students to do slightly harder work or sequences of steps, but all within the beginners framework.

All our classes are streamed and you choose them by your level of experience.  

This means, if you danced a lot as a child and / or are returning to dance after a break, you’ll more  likely start in an Intermediate or Beginner to Intermediate class unless you are recovering from an  injury, or are really want to take things slowly in a beginners class.  

Please work at your own pace & choose the level that is comfortable for you. Also please make us  and your teacher aware of any physical limitations or injuries you may be managing.

For BIG savings, join our monthly Artz Membership Package for our much reduced class rate.  Plus enjoy all the member benefits of cheaper workshop & event tickets!

Plenty! In front, on the right hand side, or down the right hand side of our building or out on the  street.

Yes, as long as there’s space in the class you can move across to other classes, just let us know. That is a lot of questions answered but do ask any others you might have. We look forward to seeing you in class and having you as a part of our big Artz Collective family.
