Open Classes

Take classes with your national ballet company!

Participating in an RNZB Open Class is a fantastic way for young dancers to enhance their technique and experience working with the Royal New Zealand Ballet’s Artistic Staff first-hand. Offered in line with our touring schedule, these classes aim to connect young dancers with their national ballet company.
