    Wow wow wow! What an incredible time I had at the European School of Ballet Summer School 2026 in Marseille!

    First of all thank you all so very much for the generous support and encouragement that this really would not have been at all possible without.

    Spending 2 weeks training with teachers from ESB was such an incredible experience and I met so many lovely dancers. We learned such fun and challenging repertoire and I gained so much from each class.

    The most exciting part - I was offered a spot in ESB’s internship program for 2027 at their school in Amsterdam! This is an absolute dream come true and once again I extend gratitude to everyone who has helped me get this far.

    Lots of important decisions to be made now :)

    From Zana ⭐️🩰

  • New Zealand School of Dance associate week!

      21 April 2026

    Zana attended a week of full-time training classes at New Zealand School of Dance as part of their associates programme that she was accepted into for this year. It was great for her to experience what it’s like to be a student at the school and seeing how their classes are run. She really enjoyed being taught by some of NZSD’s wonderful tutors! Thank you to her supporters!

    Zana recently competed in a local Ballet competition and received a nomination to go to the National Young Performer Awards in October.

    The ballet NYPA competition happens once every two years, and each dancer must be nominated by choice of the adjudicator at certain local competitions across NZ in order to attend.

    Very exciting opportunity, Zana looks forward to working towards this!

So exciting for her, would not have been possible without the generous donations!
