WORKSHOPS FOR PRIMARY & HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS
We are offering an opportunity for students from primary and high schools to experience the workshops and shows at the Australian Dance Festival for a fraction of the price. Over the years, we have received feedback from dance teachers in primary and high schools who want their students to participate in the Australian Dance Festival, however, the 3 day event and the associated costs make it difficult for them to organise school excursions.
We have addressed this by dedicating Thursday 23rd September to students from Primary and High schools. The cost is just $30 per student. See below the program:
