Additional Information How much experience do I need to participate in this workshop? Our workshops are designed for students who are comfortable dancing at an intermediate level. In order to get the most out of your time with us, we recommend at least 1 year of dance experience before signing up. We don’t require any previous singing experience. Even though I dance and sing, does it matter if I am stronger in one area? No. It absolutely does not matter. Our aim is to further your development as a performer. Coming to us with things to work on makes you a perfect candidate. How will you determine the 3 class groups? We divide the entire company into 3 smaller groups based on age. Every day starts with a full company warm-up across all age groups. What should I wear? We recommend casual dance or fitness wear; leotards, tights, track pants, shorts, t-shirts and singlets are all great. The key is to be comfortable. Please wear sensible footwear; jazz shoes, dance sneakers and trainers are all good choices. Do I need to bring anything with me? Just your great energy and enthusiasm! We also recommend bringing lunch, snacks and plenty of water from home so you can make the most out of your breaks. Will there be regular breaks and time for lunch? Yes. Each day will have two 10-15 minute drink breaks as well as a 30 minute lunch break in the middle of the day. Can I skip the warm up in the morning and just start at 10:45am? No. Attendance to the morning warm up is important for your own dance safety and as a part of our effort to prevent injury. If you are running late, please call us on 02 9746 0848 and let us know so we don’t mark you as absent.
