“…In the midst of it every day it’s hard to fully recognise the weight of each class, each small yet defining moment that passes by so quickly inside the school. Yet they echo endlessly, rippling out and beyond in so many intricate and intimate ways of life after NZSD.The rigour and discipline, commitment and repetition was paramount to understanding my own spiritual connection to dance and that dance itself is something greater than me…” – James Vu Anh Pham
