Education
Tasdance has been supporting young and emerging dancers for over 2 decades. With the generous support of Aurora, Tasdance is pleased to offer the new Aurora-Tasdance Education program. Existing programs are still offered with some new exciting opportunities for teachers, students and young people.
Tasdance remains dedicated to education and involvement in contemporary dance, especially with young people as a way of creating passion for and engagement with the arts practice.
