The long-term hauora of the dance sector depends on strong relationships between education and industry.

Together, we have an opportunity to nurture future artists, develop informed audiences, and create meaningful pathways from study into professional practice.

Tempo Dance Festival is committed to working alongside education partners who share a belief in the value of creativity, cultural participation, and artistic excellence. The partnership pathways below provide a framework for collaboration, visibility, and student engagement, while recognising that each organisation will have its own objectives and priorities.

We welcome conversations about how these opportunities can be shaped to create meaningful outcomes for your students, your organisation, and the future of dance in Aotearoa.
