Josephine Flanders Dance Pavilion

All classes are held in the Josephine Flanders Dance Pavilion located on upper campus. Named after the Dance School’s founder, this state-of-the-art facility was completed in 2008 and is one of the finest of its kind. There are three separate studios, two of which can be combined into one larger space. Each air-conditioned studio is equipped with the latest sound equipment and dance flooring.

  • Dance School

    The Dance School is part of Punahou’s Co-Curricular Programs, offering nearly 50 classes a week, Monday through Saturday.

    Our curriculum is based on a three-year cycle:
    • Year One focuses on training and studio performances.
    • Year Two culminates in a “Pau Hana” showcase at Dillingham Hall.
    • Year Three offers students our highly anticipated Triennial, a large-scale production with an original story and elaborate costumes, sets and lighting.
