DMI ITP Programme

This programme aims to utilise the time that we have with our DMI guest tutors and bring likeminded talents students together. It aims to inspire students to pursue their dancing with fresh vigour and passion. We also have a mandate of providing further education to our ITP students around injury prevention and their own individual technique knowledge.

DMI ITP consists of day long course that occurs three-four times a year for students in three separate age groups 9-11yrs & 12-13yrs & 14-17yrs. Two compulsory workshops in July & January & two optional coaching days.

Male students will experience selected dance classes separate from females.

Students will participate in a range of Classical, Contemporary, Character, Jazz,Neoclassical, Pointe & Variations, and Pas de Deux classes in the two workshops, one located in Christchurch & one in Auckland. You may select from either the April coaching day in Auckland or the October coaching day in Christchurch.

ITPs also have the following opportunities:

Audition help; If you are an ITP student and would like your summer school audition photos, audition photos for schools or videos done then it is time to contact us. We require time in person for final filming and/or photography, class work for filming can be taught over zoom.

ITP students will receive first option to book seminars and private lessons with guest coaches the day before we launch.

Every Junior and Intermediate ITP student will if wanted be given the opportunity to book into be a shadow for the day with an NZ YouthBallet Co dancer.

Every ITP is able to book a 30min zoom or in person lesson focused on a technical goal with Olivia Russell.
