Wishing these gorgeous dancers a wonderful weekend at the National Young Performers Award in Palmerston North 🥳🥳🥳

They’ve all danced their first solo on Friday and today they will have their second solo as well as an adjudicated masterclass.

To be involved they need to receive a nomination at a local competition to represent that society.
Taylor is competing in classical and representing Tititea Performing Arts Trust, Liam is competing in classical also and representing Taieri Competitions Society and Laura (taps with Bree of Shuffle Studio) is competing in tap representing Tititea Performing Arts.

The art forms competing alternate each year and this year the art forms involved are ballet, pianoforte, vocal, and tap as well as a troupe dance competition.

A special shout out to Sophie (now living and training in Chch) who is competing in the tap and to Natalie who is unable to dance this weekend as she recovers from surgery but is up here supporting her friends ❤️❤️

Proud of you Mr B!!

During the school holidays we were very fortunate to host Shane Wuerthner from athletistry at La Muse while he was on his New Zealand tour 😃

Students enjoyed three days learning more about their body and developing their classical ballet training. They worked hard, learnt so much, and had the absolute best time!!!

Shane you are a fantastic teacher, thank you for inspiring us and generously sharing your knowledge and talent with dancers and teachers in Southland 🫶🏼
We loved learning from you 🤗😍

Happy Wednesday everyone 😃

Today we are doing a huge shoutout of appreciation to MPE Engineering for their help in creating an adapted barre for us - from the brainstorming to the creation, fit out and then to go the extra mile and say they are happy to provide it free of charge 🙌🏼

Johran’s limb differences have offered him some challenges with his barre work particularly as he is getting taller and working at advanced levels. Nathan from MPE came in late one night recently to brainstorm a barre that better suits his needs. Within days we had a measured out design that went from paper to completion and it’s absolutely wonderful 🤩🤩
Better still it’s able to be shifted around!

We are absolutely stoked and so grateful - thanks Nathan and the team at MPE Engineering 🤩

We’ve had a wonderful first three days of dancing and crafting at the Southland RAD Seminar 🥰🥰
Matariki inspired pointe shoes with Miss Gina was such fun (and the dye was only a little messy 😆😳) and today Trinity taught us how to cross-stitch bookmarks 💜

It’s been fantastic seeing the progress made in the three days so far and it’s hard to believe we have only two days left!!

Earlier this term we had our DanceNZmade performance exams and what a fab couple of days it was!! Super proud of all our students putting in the mahi and bringing fire, energy, and vibrancy to share with the lovely Dean McKerras ❤️🕺 Ka Pai superstars 🤗🤩
