SADI GRATITUDE DANCE AWARDS 2026

FOR THE LOVE & APPRECIATION OF DANCE

Since 1997, SADI has proudly hosted competitions in South Africa, and we are thrilled to now be running this exciting new platform in the vibrant dance community of New Zealand. 

​

The SADI Gratitude Dance Awards is an inclusive dance competition platform designed for everyone, welcoming full studio participation. It's ideal for Beginners, Amateurs, and Ultimate Champion soloists, as well as Duos, Trios, Quartets, Groups and Troupes or Teams. This is more than just a competition—it's a celebration where every dancer can shine. We create special moments for all, offering a supportive space for newcomers to build stage confidence and experienced performers to grow and showcase their talent.

SADI’s vision is to create a safe and supportive environment where performers can thrive and reach their full potential. We are dedicated to offering opportunities that inspire participation and growth across all areas of the Performing Arts.

The SADI Gratitude Dance Awards is a non-professional dance competition, open to dancers who are passionate about performing but not currently working as professionals in the industry. 

May you begin and end the day with gratitude in your heart!
