Partner a Dancer

Turn a solo into a pas de deux
If you read our dancers’ biographies on our website or in our programmes at performances, you’ll notice that many are ‘partnered’ by generous individuals, companies and charitable foundations.
Partnering a dancer is your chance to become closely involved with the RNZB. For our dancers, knowing that there is someone in the audience who is as passionate about their success as they are, is a fantastic encouragement, from daily class and first rehearsals to first nights and final bows.
You’ll receive updates through the year about casting and will have opportunities to meet your dancer – whether in Wellington or at other centres around New Zealand – and to visit behind the scenes, with invitations to attend company class and studio rehearsals.
Partners provide invaluable support for the work of the RNZB and are among the company’s most loyal, enthusiastic and knowledgeable supporters. They are a special part of our RNZB family.

To partner a dancer for one year, the RNZB asks personal supporters, companies and charitable foundations for a contribution in the region of $10,000 plus GST (if applicable).
