Armidale dance workshop and ensembles
The Armidale dance workshop and ensembles program is a 4-day non-residential workshop program for Years 5 to 12 to showcase excellence and artistry in dance. It provides an opportunity for regional and rural students to collaborate, connect, and participate in a variety of dance workshops led by professional dancers, choreographers, and teachers.
The workshops provide a challenging and stimulating dance education program covering a variety of dance styles, enabling students to develop their dance technique, creativity, and performance quality in a fun and engaging environment.
All sessions are tailored to meet the learning needs of students from diverse backgrounds, including those with different skill levels and prior dance experience. Students are encouraged to work within their own capabilities and to experience dance in a positive and inclusive environment.
From the workshop, 3 ensembles (depending on number of applications) will be created:
- Armidale senior dance ensemble
- Armidale intermediate dance ensemble
- Armidale junior dance ensemble.
These ensembles also have the opportunity to perform in local and regional events.
