This group will meet on four or five Sunday afternoons from the end of March to June to prepare a work for the Sydney North Public Schools Dance Festival (Monday 22nd June - Friday 3rd July) and the State Dance Festival (if selected). Students attending the workshop/audition should be genuinely interested in gaining selection for this group. There will be a tuition fee and costume fee associated with membership of the ensemble, for those selected.
