Aims of the Society

• To encourage the continuing participation of young people in the performing Arts.

• To provide a platform for young people to compete against their peers.

• To encourage excellence in all arts performances. Who we are We are a group of community members who enthusiastically support the arts and seek to create an opportunity for our young people to develop, grow and perform in their chosen art form. The art forms include: Ballet, Tap, Modern Jazz, Pianoforte, Instrumental, Speech & Drama, Vocal, Highland and National Dance. History Inspired by the success of a one-day competition in 1952, Te Awamutu held its first three-day Arts Festival in August 1953. It was an outstanding success with 1377 entries over Vocal, Instrumental, Elocution, National Dance and Fancy Dance. This success led to becoming a member of the Federation of the Competitions Society, known today as PACANZ. Today The Te Awamutu Performing Arts Festival is well established and continues to attract performers from all over New Zealand. The Adjudicators, professionals in their field, are from New Zealand as well as overseas. As a member of PACANZ we can nominate winners from our Festival for the prestigious National Young Performer of the Year Awards. What the Society Does – The Society provides a platform for students of any age to:

• Have an opportunity to perform

• Compete and test their skills in performance and against their peers

• Obtain a critique from a professional

• Extend their learning through sharing experiences with others

• Assist towards furthering possible career goals

* A professional is someone whose primary employment is being paid to perform or work in the performing arts. For the present purposes, being a student constitutes “primary employment” and therefore is not seen as a Professional. For the Student who receives payment for participation, either teaching or performing, this should not impose professional status on a person if it is by way only of an occasional bonus or benefit rather than their principal means of earning a livelihood. The exception to this is a participating teacher who may perform. ** As some Societies split their dance genres and run large Competitions with different Judges and/or at different times of the year, they will be able to nominate more than one group to represent their Society. ** If a Society has 30 or more entries in the Troupe/Group Nomination section, then they are entitled to offer a second Nomination.

Brigid Carter-Chan is the director of the Carter-Chan Dance Performance Centre, one of

Auckland’s largest dance schools teaching Jazz, Tap, Ballet, Hip Hop, Contemporary, Musical

Theatre, Scottish and Irish dancing. For nearly 30 years the Dance Centre has trained and

produced numerous NZ and Australasian Dance Champions. Brigid’s eldest son Brandon, is a NZ

Tap Champion having won PACANZ in 2014, while her younger son Cameron won the NZAMD

Hip Hop Scholarship Award in 2016. Brigid (alongside her sons) currently manages an Elite

Dance Division where they train students to compete internationally. Last year the Junior and

Adult Hip Hop Crews made Finals at the World Supremacy Battlegrounds in Sydney and the

Junior Jazz Troupe won their category on the Sunshine Coast.

Brigid competed extensively in Highland and National dancing from the age of 4 and Tap from the age of 7. She is a

former South Pacific Dance Champion and registered Dance Adjudicator who has trained at the Broadway Dance

Centre, Steps Studios and the Alvin Ailey American Dance Centre in New York. Brigid completed her NZAMD

Senior exams in Ballet and went on to become a member of the Northern Ballet Company (and later the head

Choreographer and Dance Captain of NBC Dance force), she also completed her NZAMD Solo Diploma in Jazz and

NZHND Highland & National (ADV). She has been adjudicating competitions throughout New Zealand for over 35

years in all forms of dance. Brigid continues to teach over 150 students in her studio each week, alongside her 7

tutors, 4 of whom have been trained by her.

Cameron Carter-Chan has trained in Tap, Hip Hop and Musical Theatre since the age of 4. He is

a member of the Platinum Dance Company and has performed at large scale corporate events at the

Langham Hotel and Hilton Hotel. He has also performed at Auckland’s Tempo Festival, Short &

the NZAMD Solo Diploma in Hip Hop and won the Nation Scholarship Finals in 2016 at the age

of 16, having made the finals every year since age 13.

Cameron is one of the senior teachers of Hip Hop at the Carter-Chan Dance Performance Centre in Auckland and

teaches all intermediate level students as well as 3 competing Hip Hop Crews. His Hip Hop soloist made the top 3 at

the Get the Beat nations in Australia last year. This year he trains the Junior Crew to qualify for Nationals in

Melbourne, as well as himself as a Hip Hop and Vocal soloist. Cameron is extremely keen to further his experience of
