Each year, creative, innovative dance works from NSW public schools are showcased in the State Dance Festival. To celebrate this year, join us virtually as we present 31 works from the 2019 State Dance Festival highlighting the range of styles explored through the study of dance in public schools across NSW. Come back every day for a new program!
Each performance reveals the determination of students and teachers to explore the art of dance and to achieve performances of the highest quality. These performances are underpinned by technical training, creativity, confidence, cooperation, stamina and respect for one another fostered by their dedicated and talented teachers.
