Kia Ora, my name is Anya Down, I am 17 years old and currently in my second year of studying contemporary dance at New Zealand School Of Dance. I love the art of contemporary dance, especially the versatility and physical intensity that comes with it. It’s a feel-good type of style and gives me the opportunity to express absolutely anything.
