The New Zealand Dance Company visited Tauranga Girls' College yesterday to run a workshop with senior dance students.
Year 11, 12 and 13 girls learned a new routine with dancers from the company.
Tauranga Girls' teacher of dance Caroline Gill said she contacted the company to request a workshop with her students "but they were keen for a performance".
She said it was important the girls interacted with professional dancers to get a deeper understanding of the discipline.
"The students learn new skills and the process of choreography," she said.
