RPDS Got Talent 26 💫

We would love to Introduce our 2026 Judges - Georgia and Zara D 💃

They both started dancing at RPDS at the age of 5 and continued right through to the end of their High School years. In 2024 I had the privilege of teaching them both again when they came back to celebrate our 30 years of RPDS 🖤💜 These girls and their family were a huge part of RPDS and we can’t wait to see them back as Judges at our RPDS Got Talent in a few weeks time 🤩💃

NZAMD EXAMS 💜🖤

Yesterday marked the start of our 2026 Exam Session. These 2 photos show the start of these little poppets dance journey and the end of these gorgeous young women’s 💜🖤 Our littlest dancers today sitting their first exam PG3 Jazz and then some of our oldest sitting their final Jazz Solo Diploma 🤩💃 Both exams are so special for these dancers and all of these dancers have worked so hard to get there. One group begin their journey (and these excited little faces show how much they love it already) and our seniors are finishing theirs. We are so proud of both of these groups and everyone in between. There is just something so special about these moments 💜🖤💜🖤 nzamdnewzealand
