There are two major problems we see in the education system in New Zealand and around the world. There are not enough male role models for our children. There are plenty in sport, but what about everywhere else? Teacher's are expected to be outstanding at teaching every area of the curriculum. This just isn't realistic and doesn't serve our students.

We developed the In-School Program to combat both of these major issues. Firstly, by providing amazing male role models who are inspired by and passionate about dance, we can demonstrate to children different pathways in life as well as getting them engaged in a fantastic form of physical, mental and social activity.

Secondly, we believe in a world where teachers are no longer expected to 'teach' every part of the school curriculum. Instead, teachers should be facilitators of world class education, whilst being a leader for their students and teaching them better strategies for learning and growth. By coming into the school and teaching every single student, followed by a full scale performance, we not only ease that pressure for teachers, we also ensure that every student gets inspired by their very own world class education.
