Southern Tablelands Dance Festival
The Southern Tablelands Dance Festival is an event for public schools across the Southern Tablelands and beyond. Showcasing students from Kindergarten to Year 12, each performance will display the passion, skills and creativity of students and teachers as they explore the art of dance.
The festival aims to:
- encourage the development and teaching of dance programs at a school level
- provide an opportunity for the school and broader community to recognise dance as an art form
- provide an opportunity for students and teachers to work towards a quality performance in a professional venue
- presenting an original, entertaining and professional event, providing a positive and memorable experience for teachers and students.
