“Your focus on giving young students a full and experiential time during their training is a joy to see. Their exposure to internationally recognised repertoire and creators and teachers gives them an edge that many training institutions are unable to provide. The education of fully rounded dancers is a key goal and New Zealand School of Dance clearly demonstrates this philosophy. I congratulate you on the excellent standards of your school and will always be interested to see your students in the future”.
