04.01.2022 After much deliberation we have cancelled both the Mackay and Warwick workshops due to our current happening with the Covid-19 virus. I felt it was the most re...sponsible thing to do to try to slow this virus down. We were very sad to do this but think in the long run it is the right thing to do. We will still be running exams as usual as we are wanting to support all of our small business dance schools. Unfortunately in a situation like we have now many small businesses will suffer so anything we can do to help we will. This will also give the students something positive to focus on. I know everyone is doing the right thing with regards to the requirements to keep all students and staff as safe as possible. We are always here to help if we can. Please look after yourselves. I am looking forward to when we can all get back to normal. Please also support your dance school and I look forward to our students shining.

04.01.2022 Are you interested in entering our annual choreography competition? See details below. Cant wait to see all of our budding choreographers shine!

02.01.2022 Convention Tickets are now on sale! Dont miss out on this amazing show!
