WHAT do to the dancers of the Royal New Zealand Ballet do to prepare for a new production? How old are the dancers? How many hours do they dance each day?

The Royal New Zealand Ballet’s A Day in the Life event is a chance to find out the answers to everything you want to know about what it’s like to be a dancer in New Zealand’s national ballet company.

An event for the whole family, we invite you to take a peek behind the scenes with us at this free event to be held at Te Marae at Te Papa on Sunday 18 July.
