BALLET IN A BOX – Royal New Zealand Ballet

The Royal New Zealand Ballet is bringing a new kind of razzle-dazzle to the ballet world. Celebrated children’s book writers Sacha Cotter and Josh Morgan’s magnificent Dazzlehands, published in 2023 in English and te reo Māori, is being adapted into a new ballet to be performed live in the BNZ Theatre. This contemporary take on traditional ballet will be sure to razzle-dazzle your students!

The Cow says “moo”, the Chicken says “cluck” and the Pig says… “Dazzlehands!” As hard as the farmer tries, Pig won’t go “oink”. Instead, Pig gets all the animals moving to phrases like, “Cross hands, floss hands, work it like a boss hands. Bursting with the razzle, gotta liberate these dazzlehands.”
