Rachell van der VEEK-JANSEN
I am an 8-time New Zealand Professional Champion, Dutch Amateur Champion and World Showdance and Exhibition Dance finalist.
I travelled to England at the age of 19 on a hunch that I would find the perfect dance partner- and I did! This perfect partnership with Peter van der Veek meant I spent the following 34 years in the Netherlands where, after a successful dance career, Peter & I ran a dance studio catering for 800 pupils each week in Ballroom, Latin American, Street Dance, Zumba, Fitness and Kids Swing styles.
Recently returned to my home country of Aotearoa. I am passionate about spreading the joy of dance with its benefits to health and well-being.
I am a qualified dance teacher with the IDTA (associate), NZFDT (member), NZFATD (fellow), Zumba, Zumba Gold, Zumba Kids, Child Development Dance and Movement. Not only am I a specialist in the Ballroom and Latin American dances but also in Argentine Tango, Show Dancing, Exhibition, Zumba, HipHop and Pre-School and Primary School Movement & Dance.
Please contact me on 021661633.

Born in Netherlands. I am a 2 times Dutch Amateur Champion, 8-time New Zealand Professional Champion, Dutch Amateur Champion and World Showdance and Exhibition Dance finalist. I was the advisor to the Dutch National Ballet Company and a guest dancer with The Malando Tango Orchestra.
My wife Rachell and myself have an enormously varied dance repertoire. Besides my Ballroom and Latin American qualifications: IDTA (associate), NZFDT (member), NZFATD (fellow), I am a qualified Fitness trainer, Personal trainer and Sports nutritionist.
