Can you bring inspiration and creativity to a young person’s life?

We are one of New Zealand’s leading specialists in delivering dance in schools. Our interactive seasonal dance performances and workshops require additional funding to ensure these can continue and grow by popular demand. Financial support also allows NZDC to subsidise schools and/or students who would not otherwise have access to engage in the work we do.

We aim to grow young people’s social, cultural, spiritual, and moral development through contemporary dance. We value young people, giving them a voice and helping them to thrive.

Our engaging seasonal performances and workshops, alongside our world-class dancers and teachers, provide much needed resources for students to access education in ways other than at a desk, in line with the school curriculum.

Students experience physical movement and creativity, as they explore the processes of choreography and self-expression.

Interactive performances include Matariki for Tamariki, a family friendly work in celebration of ritual and renewal leaving students and adults alike with joy and gratitude for the land we call home.

“As well as dance, these students learn so much more when they participate in this programme; confidence, resilience, relating to others, how to manage themselves in new situations, and most importantly be creative and have fun! The positive effect this experience had on one student in particular was phenomenal. He transformed from a shy, guarded boy to an open, chatty, excitable child who can now see and accept all the wonderful things he has to offer the world.” Eliza Gibbons, Performing Arts Teacher.

Can you bring inspiration and creativity to an older adult’s life?

Dancing is an activity for anyone of any age and any level of fitness.

There is a growing appetite for contemporary dance experiences amongst older adults. Senior dance classes are a fantastic way to maintain well-being and keep active. Dance helps improve mobility, strength and stability within a joyful and engaging community environment.

We are seeking financial support to enable NZDC to keep the weekly class fees as low as possible and to ensure our uplifting Feisty Feet programme is accessible for all.

Movement therapy in more advanced years also improves balance, mental health, and social interaction. Participants meet other like-minded people their own age and they discover a group of people they feel comfortable dancing with, and soon start to make friends, helping to maintain a healthy social life.

The classes are run by experienced dance professionals and educators.

“The participants’ obvious enjoyment demonstrates the importance of this programme. It creates deep community connections for older adults as they gather weekly with like-minded others who share the love of dance and respond to the creative and health benefits of movement”. Dr Felicity Molloy, Independent Dance Professional and Educator.
