Royal NZ Ballet presents Dazzlehands

Event date: Wednesday, 08 April 2026 | 10:30 AM to 11:15 AM

Dazzlehands, the award-winning story of the persuasive pig who won’t take no for an answer, by Wellington author and illustrator Sacha Cotter and Josh Morgan, is a hot favourite with young audiences, on the mat at pre-school and as a much-requested bedtime story.

Now, RNZB Principal Joshua Guillemot-Rodgerson and Education and Community Engagement Manager Lauren Byrne are thrilled to have turned Dazzlehands into a moving and grooving ballet bash for six performers plus narration, with enchanting original music by William Phillipson and laugh-out-loud character costumes by Victoria Gridley.

The approximate running time of this performance is 45 minutes.
