Tickets are now on sale for the Australian Dance Awards 2013, which will be hosted by Canberra as part of the Centenary of Canberra. It’s the first time that the Australian dance industry’s night of nights will be held in the nation’s capital.
The evening will commence with a “red carpet” VIP event in the theatre foyer, followed by the formal presentation which will include performances that showcase some of Australia’s best dancers and dance companies. The awards are presented in eleven categories including the prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award. Other awards include the Hall of Fame, presented by special guests David McAllister and Robyn Archer, and the Ausdance Peggy van Praagh Choreographic Fellowship.
Canberra has always produced incredible dance and dancers and the awards will proudly acknowledge this by celebrating the amazing number of dancers who have made their mark in the world and the role of dance teachers and dance companies in the history of dance in Canberra.
The Australian Dance Awards 2013 are presented by Harlequin Floors with Ausdance ACT.
