Meet our People: Dominic

Dominic  | DANCER INTERN

Ballet - My favourite ballet is Don Quixote. It was the first ballet I ever saw and I love the energy and happiness the ballet shows. I love ballet for the discipline and the art form. I love painting a picture with my movement. 

Collect(ive) - I collect hobbies! I'm always trying to find something new and fun to experience, ranging from American football to playing the ukulele. Some of my favourite hobbies are: American football, painting, ukulele, kendo, drums, singing, and dancing. 

Aotearoa - Any mountain range in the South Island - those are my favourite places in NZ - but The Remarkables mountain range is my absolute favourite. I've made so many memories climbing those mountains and I can't wait to climb them again!

Home - I was born in Invercargill, located at the very bottom of the South Island.

Training - I have been training at the New Zealand School of Dance and am about to complete my third year there.

Highlights - My careers highlights have been dancing with world-famous choreographers, representing NZSD in parliament, and getting the opportunity to dance every day :-)

Favourite Jam - My favourite jam is the homemade grape jelly my Nanna makes from my family's grapevine. It's the best jam I've had! 

My favourite music jam is mxmtoon's Fever Dream ft. Shawn Wasabi; always makes me happy and it's always stuck in my head!
