Te Whaea, 11 Hutchison Rd, Newtown
The programme focuses on the principles of movement, incorporating the definitions of technique as required in ballet, while embracing musicality and artistry. Classes are small and the ballet training is supported by allied subjects such as body conditioning. The level of technique and the frequency of classes increase annually to the age of 16 in preparation for the School’s full-time course. Student’s progress through a tiered structure is assessed each year and from Level 4 students participate in the Associates programme. Classes are held on a weekly basis for lower North Island students and students on the National Scholars programme visit NZSD at least once during each term to attend training.
The current Scholars fee is based on the hourly rate of $15.00 per hour, and the number of hours each academic week. It ranges from Level 1 & 2, 2 hours per week, Level 3 & 4, 3.25 hours per week and Levels 5 & 6, 4.75 hours per week.
All applications close Monday 6 October. Auditions will be held Sunday 12 October in Wellington.
