NEW in 2026 — Resonate Wild card Event

FRIDAY 24TH JULY​

​

We’re thrilled to announce that in 2026, Resonate will introduce an all-new Wild Card Event giving your students the chance to take part in two epic workshops and perform live at the Hurstville Entertainment Centre.

​​The Wild Card Event Is Great For:

• NSW & ACT based high schools with a Dance Team of 20+ students.

• High Schools who have thought about participating in the Australian Dance Festival in September but worry about whether the event may be too overwhelming for their students.

• Building confidence in students who may feel that the Australian Dance Festival is too big and intimidating for them. They will get a taste of all the great things about ADF - amazing instructors and the thrill of performing, in a much more intimate environment.

​

Held at the Hurstville Entertainment Centre in July, It’s their opportunity to shine on stage.

 

3 Schools will be chosen by our esteemed judges to fast-track straight to the Resonate Finals, happening on Sunday, September 20th, on the Main Stage at ADF 2026!

​

The Resonate Wild Card Event is your school’s chance to make an impact and earn a place among the best, performing at the Australian Dance Festival’s biggest night of the year!
