Congratulations to our 2020 Scholarship winners

Dance Venture’s Julie-Anne Taylor Classical Scholarship was awarded to Zoey Tham for her consistently positive attitude, her energy and her commitment to any task she takes on.  The Scholarship entitles her to free ballet tuition in 2021.

Two Trophies for Excellence donated by Anna and Richard Taylor were awarded to Hayley Gibson and Leila Gibson.  Both students made good use of all resources available over the shutdown and Zoom period and have shown great improvement and a consistently good class attitude.

Congratulations are also due to all students who entered for ballet exams in 2020 – you all did very well in a difficult year

Dance Venture treats exams as very special. The exams are quite demanding but a great experience if the student is confident about what they’re doing. Students were given DVD’s at the beginning of the Covid crisis. These detail the exam syllabus relevant to the student’s level. Students who do well at exams have usually studied these DVD’s at home, assisting them greatly where they might be having trouble. This year we have additional material on Youtube which will also prove useful in exam preparation.

More information including: Ballet exam dress requirements, Class guidelines for RAD Ballet exams and an Information sheet with fees and an entry form is available on request.

…to the students for their beautiful performances in our concerts. I thought they danced with feeling and discipline. I was especially interested to see how well the students related to the music. They seemed to really get into the spirit of each performance through the music.

Term 1, 2019 commences on Sunday 3rd February 2019. Have a safe and happy holiday. I hope to see you in 2019!

Look out for information about our end of term performances which are held at the studio.

The most important project now is the RAD Festival, a competitive dance event which runs at Curtin Theatre, John Curtin College of the Arts.
We have ensembles and a handful of soloists who will be competing at the Festival (May 31 – June 4 weekend). Tickets are relatively inexpensive and younger students are encouraged to go support and learn more about the Festival. For more information on this event go to:  www.trybooking.com/VCXC
