AUDITION to study full-time at the New Zealand School of Dance in 2021

Becoming a professional dancer begins with an audition for the New Zealand School of Dance (NZSD).

The New Zealand School of Dance was founded in 1967 and in that time has earned a reputation as a leader in training dancers to meet the demanding expectations of dance companies and choreographers worldwide.

The full-time tertiary programmes offered by NZSD are aimed at developing the qualities essential for professional dancers – strong technique, musicality, coordination, and dedication to the art form. NZSD students major in either classical ballet or contemporary dance, while maintaining a strong grounding in both disciplines.

The School is pleased to announce the 2020 digital auditions open until 18 September and live auditions at NZSD in Wellington on 26 September.
 

Dancers who are unable to attend the live auditions in Wellington due to travel restrictions are invited to submit digital auditions to NZSD.  All details are included in the Digital Auditions Guide available at www.nzschoolofdance.ac.nz/audition
