New Zealand Dance Arts Association
NZDAA is a new association with a clear goal: to support studios, dancers and teachers across Aotearoa.
With years of studio operating experience, we understand how challenging it can be to manage, grow and sustain a dance business in the long term.
NZDAA exists to support the dance community through four key pillars: access, develop, connect and opportunities.
We are beginning this work through the development of syllabi and the NZ Dance League competition, with the long-term aim of creating further community programmes, youth development initiatives, national and international workshop opportunities, and a stronger support network between studios.
