PNDA - March Dance Competitions

The PNDA March Competition features both classical and modern dance genres, including ballet, barefoot, national character, demi character, neoclassical, lyrical contemporary jazz, hiphop and musical theatre. Competitors are both local and from around the North Island, reaching to the South. The class range for competitors is 6years & under -16yrs and over. At this competition we run restricted solo classes for less experienced dancers. Another feature of this competition is the Pacanz National Young Performer nomination classes. This year modern nominations are offered alongside troupe nominations. Competitors for this class must be aged 16-21. Successful competitors in the preliminary round represent the Palmerston North Dance Association at the NYPA awards held in October at the Regent on Broadway in Palmerston North The weekend programme offering a mix of both open and restricted classes is a wonderful opportunity for the audience to experience dance at the different stages and levels of attainment and achievement. It is something Competition at it best.
