SYDNEY NORTH PUBLIC SCHOOLS DANCE JUNIOR ENSEMBLE

Dear Parent,

Sydney North Public Schools Dance would like to invite interested students to apply for the 2020 Sydney North Public Schools Dance Junior Ensemble. This Ensemble aims to develop and showcase the dance talents of students in Sydney North.

The Sydney North Public Schools Dance Junior Ensemble is open to all government school students in Year 4 through to Year 6 in 2020. The Ensemble will be trained in Contemporary Technique. An item will be prepared for the Sydney North Dance Festival held in June, possible inclusion in the State Dance Festival held in September and possible inclusion in the Schools Spectacular held in November, plus other performance opportunities.

The Sydney North Public Schools Dance Junior Ensemble meets weekly. The rehearsal day, time and venue are yet to be determined. It is a full year commitment.

Auditions will be held on Wednesday 4th December 2019 at Secondary College Manly Selective Campus, 138 Abbott Rd, North (entry to the School Hall is via the school office on Abbott Rd). Students wishing to audition for the Junior Ensemble who are currently in Years 3, 4 and 5 are required to register from 4:00pm, with the audition taking place from 4:30 – 6:30pm. Students will be observed, by a panel, doing a contemporary dance class; they will not be asked to perform their own choreography. Students should wear comfortable dance wear and no shoes are required. Students MUST be attending a State school in 2020.

There will be a tuition fee per term as well as a one-off costume fee for successful applicants. There may also be further costs incurred if the Ensemble is involved in the Schools Spectacular.

The 2020 Audition Application Form for the Sydney North Public Schools Dance Junior Ensemble is to be completed ONLINE through our new online platform, DASH. Go to our website - www.snpublicschoolsdance.com.au/ensembles - for further information and to apply.
