One of the key offerings at DANZ is the O'Donnell Grants. These grants are specifically designed to support students residing within the funding area around Palmerston North who wish to pursue education in ballet, music, or singing. The grants can be used to study at an approved university, polytechnic, school, or academy in New Zealand or overseas. Applications for the O'Donnell Grants close on September 30, 2023.

As an institution committed to providing relevant and valuable information, our webpage only features pages with modules or page types that align with the purpose of the page. For example, you may find information about upcoming events or other relevant dance-related content.

In addition to our local initiatives, DANZ also takes part in international collaborations and conferences. One such event is the PoP Moves Australasia / Pacific Region, which will take place on November 28 and 29, 2023. This conference, organized by the Dance Studies Department and Aotearoa Choreographic Research at the University of Auckland, explores the role of popular dance in higher education in Australasia and the Asia Pacific region. It provides a platform for dancers, scholars, and enthusiasts to come together and discuss the latest developments in dance education.
