Following my passion

Joining in with my sister’s Highland dance lesson from a young age has lead me on a discovery of my passion for ballet. It has been exciting with many amazing experiences, competing at the South Island ballet awards and being the youngest finalist, to dancing with the Royal New Zealand ballet. I was accepted to train as a scholar at the New Zealand school of dance, which involves travelling to Wellington but also 4 trips a week to train at Southern Ballet in Christchurch. I was recently offered a scholarship to dance at the Nervi festival in Italy so am very excited to continue my training and am very thankful for all of my friends, family and teachers who have supported me.

Come along and meet the talented Tāma.
