Branch profile
There is a separate group for Junior Associate Members (JAMs) which attracts our younger members. A JAM camp is held every two years and regular medal tests are held. A highlight on the Branch calendar is the annual week-long Summer School. For six mornings dancers attend classes grouped by ability. Evening functions include a ceilidh, a fancy dress dance led by the youth, a traditional Hogmanay, and the President's Ball. In addition there are classes for
musicians and teachers, and teaching examinations.
Throughout the year weekend schools are held by regions: Easter in Canterbury, Queen's Birthday weekend in Waikato Bay of Plenty, and Labour weekend in Auckland. Other regional events include annual dances and classes.
