“Life as a dancer involves an enormous amount of self-discipline and rigorous hard work, so be prepared for that. But if you love it, it will be worth it! And if you exude your absolute joy and love for what you do people will be drawn to you and your dancing.”

We acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land on which we work and perform. Long before we performed on this land, it played host to the dance expression of our First Peoples. We pay our respects to their Elders — past, present and emerging — and acknowledge the valuable contribution they have made and continue to make to the cultural landscape of this country.
