The New Zealand School of Dance (NZSD) Performance Season is a highlight of the School calendar and a showcase of the extraordinary dedication and passion the students apply to their training throughout the year. 

Students from both the classical ballet and contemporary dance streams will showcase their talent in a series of performances allowing audiences of family, friends, supporters and dance enthusiasts the opportunity to see the rising talent of the future. 

This year’s event celebrates the huge contribution of the School to the dance landscape in Aotearoa and beyond, with many of the works created by and/or staged by NZSD graduates. The 2025 season demonstrates the diversity of the art form – showcasing luminary new choreographic voices of contemporary dance, while paying homage to the timeless foundations of classical ballet.

A season of 10 performances, showcasing two separate programmes of classical ballet and contemporary dance, where the students will display their extraordinary talent, to audiences of family, friends and dance lovers. The split programme this year features a bold selection of works showcasing both the technical prowess and artistry of these young dancers.
