Dance Intensive

What is Dance Intensive?

Objectives

• To provide training and mentoring to students who are contemplating full time performing arts courses and or seeking a career in the arts.
• To maintain, nurture and build on the technique that the students already have and further develop the skills they require to thrive as dancers, performers and artists.
• The ‘intensive’ is designed to provide preparatory training for students seeking to achieve a high level of competency in dance.
• To combine this Dance Intensive day with CUA30113 Cert III in Dance through the RTO ATOD. (Not compulsory)
• To train and mentor, the students to be audition ready
• To provide individual career mentoring and professional development from trainers that have extensive industry connections.

Dance Intensive has been created out of the need to offer Dance Students the opportunity to extend their training and who have a clear desire to make dance a career; whether a performer, educator, or choreographer.

Dance Intensive will engender enthusiasm for dance and will serve a preparatory course for those contemplating full-time dance or wanting to keep their skills at an "audition ready" level.  Dance Intensive gives students a springboard from which to leap into full-time or professional performance.
