This paper explains the design, development and delivery of a curriculum-integrated dance programme across four primary schools in Auckland, New Zealand. Four teachers and their respective classes (101 children in total) were part of the programme. Each class participated in 18 dance sessions at their schools during school hours. The dance educator delivered the dance programme and collaborated with each class teacher for planning and implementation. Various topics related to science, mathematics, English and Maori culture were covered in accordance with the term focus of each class teacher. The core values from the New Zealand primary school curriculum and New Zealand arts curriculum were embedded in the dance programme. The applicability, transferability (to other participant groups), challenges (such as time and venue) and evaluation design associated with the dance programme are discussed. Teachers' reflections are embedded with researcher observations as they describe the significance of the dance programme.
