Youth Ensemble
Creativity is at the forefront of our program and Australasian Dance Collective aims to enrich, inspire and support the young dancers of our community.
Our ADC Youth Ensemble Director leads a program that will enhance the dancers' learning and capabilities by encouraging a strong focus on their individual development.
Guest teachers further extend technique through creative skills workshops and there is a great emphasis on the importance of communication as an ensemble as well as the implementation of creative habits to build confidence and encourage curiosity and exploration.
The program runs over three terms and features performance opportunities.
Our Youth Ensemble’s signature season, Echo, sees our young dancers perform in dance works created specifically for them by Australian choreographers. Echo highlights the talents of young creatives and designers and showcases our ensemble in their very own film presented as part of the program.
Another opportunity created for our Youth Ensemble dancers is the potential to be offered scholarship placements with leading training institutions around Australia and New Zealand.
