DANZ - Dance Aotearoa New Zealand
DANZ IS THE NATIONAL ORGANISATION FOR NEW ZEALAND DANCE
We work for the success and health of New Zealand dance through
- education

people involved in dance; students, teachers, choreographers,
performers, presenters, researchers and writers. We make

Performance
DANZ has received funding from Creative New
Zealand since its inception to provide support for the dance industry. We provide information, services and resources. In 2008 DANZ facilitated
consultation for, and published, the New Zealand
Dance Industry Strategy.
Training
DANZ provides and supports a variety of training such as DANZ workshops, forums and mentoring. DANZ has a contract with the
Ministry of Education to provide Learning Experiences Outside
the Classroom (LEOTC) for New Zealand schools and is the hub for the
Dance Subject Association.
and Participation
We wish to see dance in all its diversity, actively promoted across New Zealand as a healthy option for physical activity and fun, for people of all ages, backgrounds and abilities. With support from SPARC through a No Exceptions contract, in 2008-2010 DANZ conducted research into dance for people with disabilities and produced the New Zealand Disability and Dance Strategy - "Would You Like This Dance?"
