Get ready to sparkle and groove with Dazzlehands – the award-winning story of a persuasive pig who won’t take no for an answer! Based on the beloved picture book by Wellington author Sacha Cotter and illustrator Josh Morgan, this much- loved tale leaps from the page to the stage in a rollicking new ballet for Tamariki and their whānau.
Choreographer by Royal New Zealand Ballet Principal Joshua Guillemot-Rodgerson, Dazzlehands is a moving, grooving celebration of courage, individuality and what is possible when you believe in yourself.
