Dance

The dance sector presents vibrant and inspiring work. Professional dancers, choreographers and dance companies in Australia are taking the artform into new territory through exciting collaborations. The sector is using and investigating new techniques, culturally diverse forms, and media.

Our vision is to see dance thrive.
