A Combined Dance item involves groups of students from various NSW Public Schools coming together to perform the work of a selected choreographer or team of choreographers. Teachers are responsible for rehearsing set choreography and formations, which will be taught at combined rehearsals with additional support provided through online video links where necessary.
Schools involved in Combined Dance will be selected through an online video audition. Schools are asked to present a dance or movement sequence that will allow the audition panel to assess students’ movement ability, performance quality and skills in spatial awareness. Items should be no more than 1 minute and 30 seconds in length.
Schools may nominate groups of up to 16 students. Schools with high-quality dance programs may nominate a maximum of 24 students. It is likely that not all dancers submitted will be selected. The typical number of dancers selected from any one school is 8-12 students. You may be asked to select your best dancers from the group auditioned. Exact numbers will be notified on acceptance.
There are three separate categories for combined dance based on the year range of students involved. Schools may apply in any of the following categories.
Students presented on your online video audition should be the current students for consideration in the 2022 Schools Spectacular. If you have any questions about this, please contact Damien McCabe, Operations Manager, on (02) 8512 1192.
