This major event will be the highlight of the South Island 2016 competition dance calendar. It is our intention to re-establish this prestigious award as a biennial event. This award
provides a pathway for South Island dancers to further their training towards a career as a professional dancer. Previous prize winners have gone on to secure positions with professional ballet companies throughout the world. This event is aimed at aspiring young dancers from 12 to 19 years of age who will be judged by a panel of international and national adjudicators. Competitors in the Junior and Senior categories take part in a Technical class and a preliminary round consisting of a Set Variation solo and a contrasting Own choice solo. The total prize money (in excess of $12,000) is intended to be used towards further studies in classical dance. This supports our aim of assisting, encouraging and developing the art of dance. |
