Workshops


The Australian Dance Festival's workshop schedule runs like a "Who's Who" of the Australian Dance industry.  It's your opportunity to learn from the very best dance choreographers in  Australia all jam packed into one amazing weekend.  Best of all, our prices are amazingly affordable and represent massive value for money - not only do you get workshops with your passes, but also seats for:


Workshop Timetable
We have almost finalized the workshop timetable!  We're still waiting to hear back on a few more illustrious choreographers.  In the meantime, you will see below our workshop timetable for 2012.  To provide you with information so that you can decide which workshops to choose, we have set up an Facebook Event for each instructor with:
- Video interviews
- Videos of their work
- Videos of their workshop

To get to the Facebook Event for each workshop, simply click on the photo of the instructor.

If you have been to some of these instructors' workshops, we would like to invite you to post comments on the Facebook Events page to let others know what you thought of their workshop.



Important Notes:

  • Please note that due to the busy schedules of the dance instructors, the workshop timetable will be subject to change.  We will regularly update this page and post notices on Facebook to keep you informed of any changes
  • Under 12's room is NOT EXCLUSIVELY for dancers under 12 years of age.  Instructors teaching in this room have been told to pace and structure the class for dancers under 12 years of age.  These workshops are therefore suitable for beginner / intermediate level of dancers as well those who require a slower pace.
  • Under 12 dancers are also allowed to participate in other workshops, they just need to be aware that the pace will be set for adults and not children.

     ADF Breaks the Guinness World Record! 
    On September 4th, 2010, The Australian Dance Festival broke the World Record for the Largest Song & Dance Routine! (Officially recognised the Guinness World Records!)

    As Jason Coleman is the Patron of the  Australian Dance Festival, and also choreographer for the "Hairspray, The Musical", it was only fitting that the world record should be "The World's Largest Number of Dancers Doing a Hairspray Choreography", led by Jason Coleman himself!  >>learn more
