Support the professional dancers of tomorrow

Building on a legacy of 50 years at the forefront of dance training in New Zealand, the New Zealand School of Dance Foundation supports the vision of lifting up the dancers of tomorrow.

With your help the Foundation will ensure that exceptionally talented students can make the most of their potential as dancers.

The Foundation will provide on-going financial support to:

• Alleviate student hardship 
  The Foundation’s primary objective is to provide scholarships to ensure that exceptionally talented students have access to training regardless of their financial situation.
   
• Support outreach programmes 
  To continue growing and supporting outstanding dancers, the School must meaningfully engage and connect with diverse communities. Outreach programmes identify and recognise budding talent and provide achievable pathways to world-class training.
   
• Build on our impressive facilities 
  Providing high quality and safe environments for student training. 
   
• Cultivate exciting opportunities for students 
  Provide platforms for students to engage with and learn from New Zealand and international luminaries.
