What is the Dance Team?
The Dance Team work collaboratively to provide the choreography and segment direction for the vast majority of segments in the Schools Spectacular.
Members of the Dance Team can take on roles including Segment Director, Choreographer, Assistant Choreographer and Designer.
NSW Public School teachers who have skills in dance and design are encouraged to apply. We encourage applications from experienced teachers as well as teachers who have not been involved in the team in previous years.
Video Audition Requirement
Teachers who have not been a member of the Dance Team (as Segment Director/Choreographer) in the last three years are required to submit an online video audition showcasing their choreographic skills. This is to be submitted with your online application.
