ABOUT PFORM.NZ
There is a performer inside every child – let’s bring that performer out!
Our sessions will have your students laughing and interacting like never before.
For over twenty years, Pform.nz has delivered performing arts classes built on strong educational practices and proven pedagogy to develop life-skills in young people across Auckland. Our focus has always been to increase their creative thinking, confidence and independence while also equipping them with the tools to succeed.
Pform.nz was founded in 1999 by Tracey and Michael Stretton. Both qualified teachers, Tracey and Michael were passionate about building self-esteem and character in young people and saw an absence of educational avenues which built children up through positive reinforcement and strong pedagogy rather than being subjected to criticism and pressure.
Our tutoring team are highly trained professionals each with their own achievements in the performing arts industry. We also have a great relationship with a number of schools, providing quality performing arts education to their students.
PERFORMING ARTS CLASSES
Our signature triple-threat classes. This is true all-rounder class training in the major performing arts disciplines; dance, drama & singing. We offer a curriculum to suit all age brackets (from 5 – 18 yrs). The content we teach becomes more challenging and advanced as our students grow older. In Terms 1 & 2 students will build on their performance skills and abilities through our weekly curriculum. In Terms 3 & 4 students will start to prepare for their end of year showcase held at the Bruce Mason Centre or Due Drop Events Centre.
- The dance training focuses on a blend of genres packaged into bite-sized combos.
- The singing component involves simple vocal technique and performance training.
- The drama element includes ensemble work, scripted theatre and improvisation.
This is a holistic approach to training. Our curriculum is geared to create competency in all performance disciplines and includes weekly learning objectives to develop confidence and other key life-skills. This program is non-graded and non-auditioned.
Whether you want your child to become a skilled performer or just to pip their opponents in the boardroom, this is the perfect training ground for all children to shine. Our focus is to build character, confidence and creativity in a fun and supportive environment.

ADVANCED CLASSES | THE CONFIDENCE PROJECT
Dance Troupes | Theatre Companies | Musical Theatre Classes
A program designed by Pform.nz for the purpose of serving any students who wish to take their performing arts training to a higher level.
At the Confidence Project, we place a focus on industry prep, something that doesn’t occur in our regular Pform.nz programs. These sessions are more technical, require more dedication from students, and offer more performance opportunities throughout the year.

5 / 5 Stars
Our daughter has grown hugely in confidence and loved the opportunity to perform on stage in the end of year concert. The classes are fun and professionally run and the kids get a lot of say in the performance which is great for their skill and confidence. Highly recommend this class for all kids of all ages.

Pform is a fantastic program run by a fantastic team. The enthusiasm, energy, and good vibes are only a part of it – the people involved, the lesson structure, and the finale at the end are also key to what makes Pform great. We’ve seen such growth and development in both our kids going through Pform – not just in what they’re performing in (dance/drama) but in their confidence, leadership, and interpersonal social skills too. Looking forward to another great year with Pform!
