a Note from The boss

“Kia Ora, I’m Kate — the heart behind Haus of Motion. After years of dancing professionally across Europe and Australia, performing with artists, in film, and on TV, I’m SO excited to finally create something of my own here in Auckland.

What lights me up the most is teaching beginners — seeing that spark of confidence grow and watching the moment it all clicks. I honestly believe movement is the ultimate life hack, and I feel so grateful to share this with others.

My promise is simple: to give you a safe, welcoming space where you can move freely, feel good, and be completely yourself - however loud or silly that might be!

I’m very excited to meet you x”

Kate Thompson, Founder of Haus Of Motion

With her warm personality and amaziiing choreography, she attracted such a good community to be around with every week, just dancing the work and life stress out together! You can feel her professional experience through her dancing and the way she teaches, she will break down all the steps and give you alternatives too! At the end of the day you will come home happy with even just learning to dance.”

    Kym, Melbourne

  • "I first attended a heels class with Kate at the end of 2023. She has an incredible way of breaking down technique so it feels east and always creates such as positive space. She's helped me improve my dancing through private lessons, but also help me build my confidence and strength. kate really understands how to bring out a persons style but keeps you grounded in solid technique at the same time. I was so lucky to laugh and learn with an absolute pro!"

I’ve done her beginner classes to classes with more complicated choreography and she really takes the time to break it down and make sure we feel supported whilst learning. Highly recommend for all levels of dancers!”

  • “Kate is honestly one of my favourite instructors. Her classes have helped me become so much more open and confident in my movement, especially in heels. What I love is that it’s not just about dancing it’s about feeling empowered and comfortable being yourself.

    I also absolutely enjoy her Groove classes, and whenever I get the chance, I always choose to attend one of her classes. Her positive energy, encouragement, and teaching style makes every class enjoyable, regardless of your level. I’m so grateful for the confidence and growth I’ve gained through her classes.”
