NEW IN 2020!!!
The Mid North Coast Dance Ensembles program aims to foster the development of talented students from Year 4 - 12 in dance from Public Schools within the Coffs Harbour, Clarence and Grafton area. Students train and rehearse dance works across 2 intensive workshops held in Coffs Harbour. Students will be taught by Department of Education specialist Dance teachers. Students then go on to perform at the Mid North Coast Dance Festival in June and audition to perform at State Dance Ensemble in Sydney.
In 2020, there will be two Ensembles groups offered to students: Primary (Years 3 - 6) and Secondary (Years 7 - 12). Participation will be through audition. The process for auditioning is listed below.
