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
- development and support of the industry
- promotion and visibility of dance
- and all New Zealanders having a chance to dance
We support
people involved in dance; students, teachers, choreographers,
performers, presenters, researchers and writers. We make
connections, plant seeds, offer options, identify
possibilities, advocate, broker and suggest directions.
Our role is in stimulating and empowering people
for the creation and presentation of dance.
DANZ has been a registered charitable organisation since
1997. DANZ is a membership organisation for those involved in the professional,
education and recreation sectors of New Zealand dance. DANZ members receive a free subscription to DANZ Quarterly magazine.
