The Mystery of the Silver Slippers and Giselle show tickets here
Saturday 21st and Sunday 22nd August, 3.00pm
It's showtime for our senior dancers, and this year they are booked to perform the classic ballet Giselle. Who will make it through the audition and claim the lead role and the coveted Silver Slippers? What lengths will disappointed dancers go to if they don't get cast? How can the show go on if the Silver Slippers are missing?
Watch the mystery unfold and see if our dancers can find the culprit and return the Silver Slippers just in time for their performance of Giselle.

Welcome to The Rose Academy
Welcome to The Rose Academy
In our small classes, all students receive focused and personalised tuition, ensuring each dancer is supported to reach their potential. All dancers are encouraged to achieve excellence, using positive teaching methods to achieve great results. We pride ourselves on the quality and high standard of teaching, letting the results speak for themselves. Successes from just our first three years include high examination grades, over a third of students achieving Distinction; multiple sold out performances; our dancers have won championships and received 1st placings at regional competitions; had a dancer accepted into the Scholars programme at the New Zealand School of Dance; and while others successfully auditioned to perform as child extras with the Royal New Zealand Ballet.
Our comprehensive dance programme includes classical ballet, modern jazz, acrobatic dance (acro), lyrical contemporary, theatre craft, Progressive Ballet Technique, and stretch & conditioning. This has been carefully developed to train well-rounded dancers, with skills and experience to go on to exciting futures.
Enjoy dancing in our beautiful purpose-built studio in central Palmerston North, or for those located in outer-lying towns you have the convenience of the Pahiatua studio. Our students range from 3 years to 65+ years old, and come from Palmerston North, Bulls, Feilding, Pahiatua, Woodville, Eketahuna, Ballance and Dannevirke to dance with us. We are a friendly close-knit community, more like one big dance family, which creates a wonderfully supportive and encouraging environment to learn to dance.
