Audition: Propel Dance (WAAPA)

The Propel dance short course 2017 is designed for dancers wanting to ultimately audition for and pursue full-time training in the WAAPA Dance undergraduate program.

Primarily focused on students in Year 11 and 12, the course builds expertise and skills in both ballet and contemporary dance and is taught by highly qualified WAAPA staff.

This part-time course enables young students who are intending to pursue dance as a career to complement their current training in both the core elements of ballet and contemporary dance in an after- school evening program.

Additional benefits for participants include access to WAAPA’s facilities and free entry to all WAAPA Dance seasons.
