Workshops

Ages 9 - 11 | Ever dreamt of dancing within one of the world’s greatest performing arts centers? Make a young dancer’s dreams come true with our special School Holiday dance experience where ballet, contemporary and hip hop collide in a beautiful dance explosion!

Dance delivers a sort of delight which human instinct can’t manage without.

Collaborate, design and perform your own work

Make a young dancer’s dreams come true with our special School Holiday dance experience where ballet, contemporary and hip hop collide in a beautiful dance explosion! Young creators will collaborate, design and perform their own work in costumes with live music in one of the world’s greatest performing arts centres.

In this two-day workshop, we welcome both budding beginners and more experienced dancers to learn simple improvisation, composition and how to make a dance performance. Kids will learn new movement skills from a range of dance styles – from hip-hop, capoeira and contemporary dance, to classical ballet and gain methods for combining them creatively. The two-days will conclude with a performance by participants for their family and friends, which will be followed by Q&A with the artists.

Workshop dancers are encouraged to bring their favourite dance costumes from home, or dress up with our Sydney Opera House costumes!

Presented by Sydney Opera House
