Touch Compass Dance Trust

Nestled in the vibrant heart of Auckland, Touch Compass Dance Trust is a beacon of artistic innovation, unity, and inclusive education. Established with a vision to break boundaries and embrace diversity, we've been enriching lives through dance for over two decades. Our journey began in 1998, born from a shared passion for dance and a commitment to making the arts accessible to all. We are more than just a charitable trust; we are a community of dancers, educators, and artists who believe that dance is a universal language. At Touch Compass, we celebrate the unique rhythm and spirit of every individual, offering a platform for employment opportunities, performances, workshops, and community classes. Our goal is to empower people with diverse abilities to express themselves through dance and provide professional development for dancers, choreographers, and artists alike. Our repertoire spans across various genres, from contemporary to traditional, always pushing the envelope of creative expression. We've graced numerous stages in Auckland and beyond, leaving audiences spellbound with our captivating performances. But our impact extends far beyond the theatre. We are deeply invested in community activations, using dance as a tool for social change. Our workshops and classes serve as safe spaces where people of all ages and abilities can come together to learn, grow, and connect. We believe that dance has the power to transform lives, fostering empathy, understanding, and unity. At Touch Compass Dance Trust, we invite you to join us on this incredible journey. Whether you're a seasoned dancer, an aspiring artist, or simply someone who appreciates the beauty of movement, there's a place for you in our family. Together, we can continue to push boundaries, challenge perceptions, and create a more inclusive world through dance. Welcome to Touch Compass - where everyone dances!
