SHOWS AND EVENTS AT THE DANCERS DREAM

At The dancers Dream, we want all our students to be able to showcase the dance knowledge and skills that they have learnt, throughout the year. As we are part of the Australian Academy of Theatrical and Ballet Dancing INC family, we attend and participate in their examinations and competitions, as well as hosting our very own end of year performance each year.

The AATBD Jazz examinations are our most energetic and abstract examinations with only 12 to complete and an advanced diploma award at the end.

The Jazz exam will focus on and show the students ability in their stretching, flexibility and strength as well as basic jazz techniques and being able to use these set exercises into their own dancing routines.

In these AATBD examinations, students will complete 15 examinations all up before completing their Advanced Ballet Diploma.

These examinations will show the students ability to understand French Ballet terms and basic ballet technique of feet, balance, posture and arm work. The exercises that are set in these examinations are ones that are going to enhance the students control and timing, teach them basic movement that can be incorporated into dances or their own teaching and can showcase the students ability to dance En Pointe (if they wish to take this path).

The AATBD Theatrical exam will showcase a mixture of our tap and theatrical teaching with 11 examinations that will result in what is known as the teaching diploma (after compilation of their tap diploma).

Within this examination, students will have to show elements of stretching, control, balance and strength in their theatrical competent and will display their knowledge of tap theory and be able to demonstrate different beats and styles of tap dancing.

CONVENTIONS

Each year the AATBD hold three showcases/competitions which The Dancers Dream attend. They are the Ballerina Test, Own Choreography Competition and Annual Convention Day. Although they are stated as 'competitions', we are not a competitive dance school or academy, so all students attend for fun and to represent our amazing dance schools.
