RISING: God Save The Queens

  • Free
  • Dance

It’s a day-to-night event of powerhouse talent and unapologetic expression. Leading the charge are New Zealand/Aotearoa’s kings and queens of street dance, The Royal Family Dance Crew. They’ll be performing routines that’ve seen their Polyswagg style dominate the world stage, and their lead choreographer Parris Goebel, flex in the proverbial Rolodex with the likes of Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber and Rihanna. Then, it’s our turn to turn up, as the crew take us through a routine, step-by-step.

There’s a big line up of Pasifika artists to be announced too, with Polynesian techno, dancehall and more.

Be there. Or, it might be too late to say sorry.
