Winter School 2024

New Zealand School of Dance Winter School has been an annual fixture in the School’s calendar for forty-plus years. This five-day course, offering intensive tuition in classical ballet and contemporary dance, is held in the first week of the winter school holidays. The programme offers young dancers the opportunity to learn from the School’s esteemed faculty of tutors alongside foremost national and international guest teachers. All participants are exposed to diverse new challenges, with classes in classical, contemporary and allied dance styles. Senior dancers attend additional repertoire classes in their favoured form of dance: either ballet or contemporary. Winter School is suitable for students working at the equivalent of RAD Grade 5 up to Solo Seal.

When: 8 – 12 July 2023  Where: Te Whaea: National Dance & Drama Centre, Wellington

Please note: At this time, we only have spaces available in Senior 1 and Senior 3, as all other spots have been filled.

We understand this decision will come as a great disappointment to many.   Please know that our decision has been taken in the best interest and safety of students and staff.

We are looking optimistically to 12- 16 July 2021 inc, when we plan to bring Winter School back again, offering you world-class teaching by the New Zealand School of Dance artistic staff as well as a host of guest teachers.
