Welcome to our studio. The Chere McGregor Dance School is a professional dance studio which specialises in two main dance forms - ballet and tap. Click on the appropriate button above to get more detail on each of these dance forms.
Chere McGregor is the principal of the school and has been involved in the dance world all her life. She started as a ballet student at the age of 3 and was taught by Beryl Quay and Dawn McAlpine of New Plymouth. Chere attained many successes in her competition and examination work in the areas of ballet and tap dancing, and it was not long before she realised that her dream was to teach and choreograph.
Family committments took her away from Taranaki but not from dancing. Returning to New Plymouth in 1991 she started teaching clogging and the Taranaki Mountain Cloggers was established. Because of her great passion for ballet it was inevitable that she would soon branch out, and the present ballet school was established in 1999 and now includes urban dance and tap.
Chere is a licentiate of the British Ballet Organisation and a member of the Royal Academy of Dance, as well as being a member of the New Zealand Association of Dance Teachers. Chere has judged ballet, tap and jazz competitions in both the North and South Islands.
