Dance wEST03 is, in 2012, heading into its 16th year of establishment. We are the largest dance school in our region, providing dance classes for almost 200 isolated and rural students, in Mitchell, Roma & St George. Classes are available for children 4yrs+ and adult students are also catered for so please check out the timetables for the classes on offer for you in your area! No experience necessary so if you’ve always wanted to learn how to dance… we are the school for you!
Our school offers excellent & diverse dance education with qualified and experienced dance teachers in the areas of jazz, tap, street tap, hip hop, contemporary & ballet from the Australian Teachers of Dance syllabus or ATOD. Street Jazz & Stilt Walking classes were also established in 2009 as well as Fierce Entertainment Unlimited, an entertainment company for corporate events. NEW to 2012 are our Saturday National/Character classes!! Through Dance wEST03’s affiliation with ATOD we are able to provide students with the unique opportunity to participate in exams in many areas of dance. Please visit the ATOD website www.atod.net.au or contact us for more information.
Workshops are provided annually so that students may experience cutting edge moves from some of the industries leading national and international performers/choreographers. Over the years we have had the pleasure of hosting many workshops with some wonderful choreographers/dancers including Mark Hill (Bindi Irwin Crocman, Choreographer for “Hot Shoe Shuffle”) as well as Janice Mundy, Canadian choreographer extraordinaire! In 2010, we had the pleasure of hosting Mark Hill once again before he commenced his contract with “Mary Poppins” (now showing Melbourne) as well as Lizze Wicks (hot hot hot Hip Hop dancer/choreographer), Leigh Anne Vizer (Choreographer for Dance wEST03’s 30min show “Fame - I Wanna Dance Forever” & 2011 Cartoon Medley for DW03 Express show) and Bobby Rive choreographer/owner and creative director of De-Structive Dance studios on the Gold Coast. Emerging & award winning artist Nerida Matthaei worked with students on dances from the contemporary genre.
Inschool programs are a favourite and speciality of ours! We relish the opportunity to work in regional & remote locations throughout Queensland schools, inspiring the youth of the outback and providing a rare opportunity to experience dance.
