ABOUT US
“DanceNZmade celebrates and embraces the strength, diversity and passion of dance in New Zealand.”
dance, energy, passion & inspiration
Since 2009, Dean McKerras - New Zealand's own Danceman, and his ever growing team of kiwi dance specialists, have been the force behind the initiative.
-
Ultimately our reason why is to increase the possibility for New Zealanders to exchange great dance.
For years kiwis have thought they can do anything. It goes without saying we can do all things dance.
DanceNZmade focuses on and celebrates the dance upon our shores. So often we look beyond for inspiration, there’s no doubting it’s there, but it’s also just down the road.
-
To embrace dance in the land of the long white cloud, in a friendly relaxed atmosphere where exchanging great dance is the focus, creativity and energy are celebrated, dancers and dance specialists are professionally respected & inspiration and pride are the ultimate results.
-
At all DanceNZmade events and happenings throughout the year dancers have the opportunity to be presented with a Golden Ticket.
How? Through being amazing onstage, in workshops, in studios.
Once you have your ticket your register to attend.
Whats it look like? The day will commence at 11am and you'll have eight thirty minute workshops learning eight pieces of choreography. Once workshops are completed you'll audition and battle your way through elimination rounds dancing those eight pieces of choreography. We'll work our way down from over 200 dancers to our final 10 who will each win $1000 towards their dance training. The who day happens in front of a live audience.

“I can't speak highly enough about your DanceNZmade Interschool. The kids really get into the supportive learning atmosphere, take away new skills, and it isn't the logistical nightmare of other dance based competitions. Our kids just want to take part and see others dance and cheer each other on. It's fantastic.”
