Te Whaea: National Dance & Drama Centre

Go see their plays! Support local talent, checkout the awesome set design in pic

This place has been designed with purpose in mind. Such a beautiful building with amazing, friendly staff. Only been here for three days and already want to stay forever.

I came here for a choir practice. This is a fairly large facility with lots of different rooms/spaces used for various art forms, e.g. Drama and dance. It really is very good. Many many years ago it was a large open space used as an exhibition hall.

The venue is average to amateur, but the performances are wonderful. Ballet is not something I generally enjoy, but they do it so well that I find it almost as enjoyable as the modern dance.

Attended an absolutely amazing end of term play. The activity across the stage was riveting and captivating. One of the best plays i have ever had the privilege of attending. Time flew and the young actors displayed skill beyond their years.

We saw Midsummer night's dream there and it was so good and funny

Just went to my good friends graduation ceremony. And wow it was fantastic, moving and beautifully done. It seemed incredibly progressive and inclusive for all people

Just watched Spotlight 8. Amazing show but the dancers are even better.

A fantastic facility for a dance conference incorporating a central plaza as a gathering space, many multipurpose studios for lessons or rehearsal and a few seriously good performance spaces. The well-designed building also has excellent car parking areas and loading zones.

Best place to hone future talents in dance!
