The Murrumba Dance Academy delivers a high standard of dance education focussed on achieving both physical and academic success. The program strives to develop students' overall technique, with a focus on their performance skills (expressive and technical). Our expert teaching team is committed to providing our students with authentic learning experiences through exposure and strong connections to a wide variety of high calibre industry professionals, as well as forming valuable relationships with higher education institutions. These valuable partnerships within the dance community are integral to supporting and encouraging students in the continued development of their individual performance style.
At the completion of the 4-year program, students will have attained a Certificate II in Dance and be well positioned to select an ATAR pathway at Murrumba SSC.
This program takes a holistic approach to the education of the dancer, covering units including anatomy, food and nutrition, physical conditioning for performances, grooming and personal presentation. This can lead to diverse future pathways including entrance into university courses and vocational study, as well as immediate employment within a range of industries.
