Dozens of students gathered to welcome the Duchess of Cornwall this morning at Te Whaea in Wellington, as the royals continued their tour of New Zealand. Te Whaea or "The Mother" is home to Toi Whakaari, the national drama school, and the New Zealand School of Dance. The school embraces tikanga Maori - Maori process - in its teachings. The Duchess of Cornwall was escorted into the Te Whaea theatre, past a contemporary dance class, dance studio and Pilates studio. She then viewed a classical ballet performance, of the Entree from Paquita.
