OPPORTUNITIES AT lwsod

A highlight every year is our Mid Year Cabaret Performance.  Held at Melrose Receptions Centre in Tullamarine in July each year.  Students perform in our Floorshow, while parents, family and friends sit back relax and enjoy a 3 course meal.  Tickets for our Mid Year Cabaret go on Sale in May/June each year.

Our End of Year Showcase is held in the Yan Yean Theatre at Plenty Ranges Arts and Convention Centre in South Morang in December each year.  It is very exciting for our Students to perform on the big stage, under lights in their costumes for their parents, families and friends.  Tickets for our End of Year Showcase go on Sale in November each year.

Our students are often asked to perform at various events throughout the year.

We encourage all Students to audition for our Competition Teams. Competition Teams are broken down by ages –Minis (under 8), Juniors (under 10), Inters (under 13) and Senior (under 17).

Auditions are held at the beginning of each new year. Teams usually attend three to four Competitions for Groups. Soloists are encouraged to attend as many Competitions as they desire. 

Additional costs are charged for Competition Teams and entry fees for Competitions. All information is distributed at the beginning of each year. 

In 2019 we introduced our very own Hip Hop Crew “Zodiac Dance Crew”.  This Crew was established for Students wishing to pursue and perfect the art of Hip Hop Dancing.  Under the Direction of Ryan Dickson, a former student of the Lauren Wall School of Dance, the Crew will compete at various Hip Hop only style competitions locally and interstate.  Crew Members are Auditioned annually.

 Our Competition Teams regularly travel to Interstate National Finals.  Teams are required to qualify at local Regional Competitions in order to compete at the National Finals.  Students can compete as Soloists or in Groups.  It is not compulsory for all Team Members to attend.  An Expression of Interest is offered each year for those interested in attending National Finals.  Our Teams have travelled to Queensland, Perth, Sydney and Canberra to compete in the past.
