RAD NZ Summer School

New Zealand Summer School

The Royal Academy of Dance New Zealand holds regular summer schools in Wellington.

Summer School 2026 will take place between January 12 – 18 2025 at Te Whaea, 11 Hutchison Street, Newtown, Wellington.

We have a range of dance styles on offer and our tutors are highly qualified and experienced. All our tutors have had distinguished professional careers either as dancers, teachers or both. Summer Schools are a great opportunity to learn new things, make new friends and to learn from each other while having fun. We look forward to welcoming you to Wellington in January.
