Season Education Resources
Royal New Zealand Ballet has created education resources for New
Zealand teachers, students and classrooms. Leaping out from its
pages are ideas for students and teachers to create dance in their
own classrooms and the opportunity to explore Royal New Zealand
Ballet works through the exploration of classical and contemporary
ballets. These resources provide a brief introduction to the
history and development of Royal New Zealand Ballet, highlighting
its chosen productions and artists. This resource is written for
primary, intermediate and secondary teachers and their
students.
What is Ballet? DVD Resource
Royal New Zealand Ballet has created a new dance education
resource for schools called What is Ballet? Company dancer, Shannon
Dawson, is seen working with a group of students at Maidstone
Intermediate School over a series of lessons. Shannon teaches some
of the basics of ballet - foot and arm positions, plies, balances
and lifts etc. He also teaches the students some of the RNZB's
repertoire, including excerpts from the ballet Peter Pan and La
Sylphide. Students are then guided into their own dance making
using the material that Shannon has taught them. To preorder your
What is Ballet? DVD download an order form
