Brought to life through the remarkable minds and bodies of over 250 of Central Australia’s most talented young people, GUTS Dance returns to the Araluen Arts Centre for the 12th time for this year's Alice Can Dance.

Bringing their brave bodies to the stage, the young dancers illuminate emotions - how and why we feel them, why we need them and how they can affect and shape us - as understood by in their own experiences.

Through live performance and on screen, ALICE CAN DANCE is a celebration of our future artists, thinkers, change makers and world savers - the kids of Mparntwe - and it is not to be missed.
