The aim is to provide advocacy, communication, professional development, support curriculum work and promote models of good practice.
DANZ is the hub for the Dance Subject Association. The regional Dance Educator Networks in Auckland, Wellington, Waikato and Whangarei are an essential part of the dance subject association. These voluntary networks provide professional development workshops supporting curriculum work.
