Maries Dance Boutique

Maries Dance Boutique Maries Dance Boutique provides quality dancewear and dance shoes at competitive prices. I have never looked back.

Welcome to Maries Dance Boutique, a dance store where the focus is to provide good quality, affordable dance shoes and dancewear for everyone who loves to dance. As a home based store with a studio dedicated to everything Dance, customers are warmly welcome to come in for a personalised fitting. With a career in Banking my love of dance and the performing arts was originally restricted to parent h

elp and car pooling my son to and from dance class and rehearsals. In August 2004, following the tragic loss of a young family member in a car accident, I realised the time we have with those we love should never be taken for granted. The life style change from working in the finance industry to establishing my own business doing what I loved was the start of a new journey, a change of direction and a step into the unknown. It has been a pleasure watching dancers that visited for their first pair of dance shoes 18 years ago returning each year. I am thankful to all the parents, dancers and teachers who have supported and encouraged me over the years and who continue to refer others to me. You have contributed to the growth of my business allowing me to continue doing what I am passionate about.

The New Zealand School of Dance (NZSD) Director Garry Trinder MNZM has announced he will retire at the end of 2027, following three decades of contribution to the School and the wider dance community.

During his tenure, Trinder has supported generations of young dancers and played a key role in shaping New Zealand’s dance sector. Under his leadership, NZSD has strengthened its international reputation, expanded professional pathways for students, and fostered collaborations with leading choreographers in New Zealand and abroad. His legacy is reflected in both the School’s growth and the success of its alumni.

Looking back on his tenure, Trinder said, “It seems fitting to bow out at the School’s 60th anniversary. It has been an honour and a privilege to carry the responsibilities of this pivotal position for almost 30 years, but it is time to pass the baton to another visionary. I am grateful that we are here, thriving and striding forward”.

Chair of the NZSD Board of Trustees, Mary Slater, said: “Over the course of his extensive career, Garry has touched the lives of countless people as a leader, educator and mentor. All of us at the New Zealand School of Dance look forward to joining the broader dance community in celebrating his legacy in 2027.”

The NZSD Board will commence its search for a new Director in 2026, with further announcements to follow in due course.
