Industry Day Semester 1

Our first industry day was held on Monday March 3rd. We were extremely fortunate to have incredible guest teachers involved, passing on a wealth of knowledge to our dancers.

We started the day with Mr Kalman Warhaft for a classical class. It was a challenging morning, with a lot of information and anatomical knowledge required. 

The dancers then had a theatrical jazz class with Amy Browne. The class went through repertoire from the most recent "John Foreman's New Year's Eve Gala Concert". Students needed to learn very difficult choreography quite quickly, and it was a good challenge for them!

We finished the day with a very positive and informative session on Mental health and wellbeing in the dance studio and beyond, with Shaylin Durban. Students learnt strategies to help with anxious feelings, which can be applied to pre-show situations, or in the classroom. They also did practical applications using breath work.

Thank you to these fabulous teachers for making this industry day a success!
