Dazzlehands, the award-winning story of the persuasive pig who won’t take no for an answer, by Wellington author and illustrator Sacha Cotter and Josh Morgan, is a hot favourite with young audiences, on the mat at pre-school and as a much-requested bedtime story.

Now, RNZB Principal Joshua Guillemot-Rodgerson and Education and Community Engagement Manager Lauren Byrne are thrilled to have turned  Dazzlehands into a moving and grooving ballet bash for six performers plus narration, with enchanting original music by William Phillipson and laugh-out-loud character costumes by Victoria Gridley.

It’s a fabulous show for littlies (and their parents and grandparents!) and we are truly delighted to be piloting a new family ballet experience with a short tour in 2025.

Created with support from the Fehl Charitable Trust.

Bookings open on December 16th.
