The Trust annually recognises people who are doing innovative things that lead to commercial success.
CEO Kim Tuaine said the legacy award was given to business woman Parris Goebel, for her work at Palace studio in Auckland over the past decade.
Her accolades include eight world championship titles since 2009, World Female Choreographer of the Year and Best Live Performance.
"Someone who has a global presence and who draws strength and opportunity from their heritage and background and when you really looked at that and the width and breadth of her career to date, there could be no other winner and we are really honored she came."
Kim Tuaine said finalist nominees were all assessed by a peer panel, independent from the Trust.
