Our Commitment to Dance Education

Ausdance WA is dedicated to supporting and nurturing the growth of dance education across Western Australia.

At Ausdance WA, education means:

  • Providing leadership and advocacy for dance teachers in all contexts—schools, studios, cultural settings, and recreational spaces.
  • Offering professional development opportunities to empower teachers with the knowledge, tools, and inspiration they need to deliver exceptional dance programs.
  • Creating and commissioning resources to support the Dance Curriculum in schools.
  • Fostering safe spaces for dance by providing guidance on regulations and compliance for teachers.
  • Supporting regional teachers by ensuring they have access to professional development opportunities.

Through these efforts, we aim to elevate the quality of dance education and inspire a thriving dance community in Western Australia.
