NSW Public Schools State Dance Festival

Kindergarten to Year 12

The State Dance Festival is held at the Seymour Centre in Sydney and showcases choreographed dance work from public schools across NSW.

Each performance reveals the determination of students and teachers to explore the art of dance and to achieve performances of the highest quality. These performances are underpinned by technical training, stamina, creativity, confidence, cooperation and respect for one another fostered by their dedicated and talented teachers.
