NSW public schools boys dance ensemble (workshop-based)
This program develops high-level skills in dance technique, composition and performance for talented dance students from Years 4 to 12 from public schools across NSW. The ensemble provides opportunities for students who cannot attend weekly rehearsals in Sydney to train, rehearse and perform with other students from across NSW during 4 intensive workshops in Sydney over the year.
Training is aligned to syllabus outcomes and ensemble students perform at a regional dance festival, the State Dance Festival and Schools Spectacular.
This new program for 2024 aims to develop students' wellbeing and technical dance skills in a supportive environment, fostering connection and expression through movement.
