We wanted to share a snapshot of the rehearsal process leading up to the stage for “Live,” our 2024 season.

We cherish every moment spent together in the studio - creating magical moments and offering our dancers the vital experience of a professional company environment. This entire process provides invaluable training for budding artists.

We invite you to join our contemporary ballet company for Collab-26!

From rehearsal to stage all dancers get to perform as part of a unique ensemble which combines our junior and advanced dancers. Meaghan Rowe created the incredible ‘Like Swans on a Lake’ in our 2023 Short Stories season in a wonderful collaboration with music composer (and professional dancer) @kit_reilly .

Don’t miss your chance to be part of our upcoming season Live and perform on stage with musicians and like minded dancers in an experience like no-other https://www.theclassicalcollab.co.nz/apply-performanceseason by @theclassicalcollab
