On March 6th 1967 The New Zealand School of Dance (NZSD), then known as the National School of Ballet, welcomed its first group of aspiring young dancers. In the 50 years since it has continued to attract and inspire young dancers from home and abroad to receive the training and support they need to thrive in the world of professional dance.
In that time NZSD has become one of the Southern Hemisphere’s leading dance institutions and now operates with an international reach, not only attracting world class tutors but also sending students to companies in Europe, Asia, USA and Australia. The programme offered at NZSD is one of consummate excellence and offers a unique balance of classical and contemporary dance training.
