DANZ is the national organisation for New Zealand dance

DANZ WORKS FOR

  • The success and health of NZ dance
  • Education
  • Development and support of the industry
  • Promotion and visibility of dance
  • and all New Zealanders having a chance to dance

We aim to develop the long term health and growth of New Zealand dance and increase its public profile by providing information, services and resources for, and working with, the dance industry.

The work we do at DANZ is by its nature mostly invisible. 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. What we have contributed may not be that evident, or even traceable. Our role is to work behind the scenes, 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 the professional, education and recreation sectors of New Zealand dance.

We support dance in all its diversity. Ko mātau te roopu tautoko i te hunga kanikani huri noa i Aotearoa.

Profession, Education and Recreation

DANZ has received funding from Creative New Zealand since its inception to provide support and services for the professional dance sector. In 2008 DANZ facilitated the New Zealand Dance Industry Strategy.

DANZ has a contract with the Ministry of Education to provide Learning Experiences Outside the Classroom in New Zealand schools and is the hub for the Dance Subject Association.

Since 2005 DANZ has had NRO (National Recreation Organisation) status with SPARC, Sport & Recreation New Zealand, recognising DANZ as the peak body for leading the recreational dance sector. DANZ has a No Exceptions contract with SPARC in 2008/09 to conduct research into dance for people with disabilities.

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.
