Performance FAQs
Do Dance Academy offers performance opportunities to students through the following avenues:

Annual Concert

Who can participate in the Annual Concert?
All students have the opportunity to perform in our annual concert. Students indicate if they would like to be involved on their enrolment form. We close off the intake for new enrolling students during Term 1 so that costuming may be ordered in time.
How much does it cost to participate in the Annual Concert?
Each class performs an item in concert and will require a separate costume. The budget is set at $70.00 – $90.00 for a child sized costume and $90.00 – $120.00 for an adult sized costume. Come dance with me program students will not require a costume as they will be performing in their program uniform. We will always endeavor to keep costs at a minimum and try to source the cheaper option. Other associated costs are $33 per student dress rehearsal fee to help us cover our venue costs.
When and Where is the Annual Concert?

The Concert for 2018 will be held on 2nd June at Redcliffe Cultural Centre.

Eisteddfods

What are Eisteddfods?
Eisteddfods are competitions where students can enter to perform a solo, duo/trio or as part of a group/troupe in the styles of classical ballet, jazz, tap, song & dance, contemporary and many more. Eisteddfods are a great opportunity for students to improve their dance technique, confidence and performance skills as well as meet new people and have fun in a friendly environment.
What skills are learned through Eisteddfod participation?
Skills learnt in our Eisteddfod Troupe go far beyond dance. Participation and commitment to the Troupe will promote the skills of motivation, time management, self-discipline and team work which will benefit your child in his or her future – whichever career path they choose.
Why participate in Eisteddfods?

By participating in Eisteddfods it can allow them to make friends for life with a sense of belonging and commitment. For many performers, their years performing were among the most vibrant and fun times of their lives. Although the eisteddfods are run in a competitive manner, the emphasis in our Eisteddfod Troupe is on participation with a high standard of dance and performing with your heart rather than the competiveness of the sections entered.

Feedback from previous troupe students show improvements in school work because of a new found willingness to give everything a go and increased level of confidence and motivation within the school environment.

How much does Eisteddfod participation cost?
Eisteddfod lessons are FREE, for students who do 3 or more lessons per week. Otherwise normal lesson prices apply. Costuming is dependent upon the routine, some costumes are hire costumes and others will need to be purchased by yourself. All students are required to wear Do Dance Academy Jackets to and from eisteddfods.

What are CSTD Examinations?
Examinations are offered under the Commonwealth Society of Teachers of Dancing (CSTD) in a variety of subjects such as Modern Jazz, Tap, Classical Ballet, Contemporary and Musical Theatre. There are different requirements for each examination all of which are outline for students who are selected.
What are the benefits of doing CSTD Examinations?
Examinations benefit students by the allowing the student to show commitment, dedication, striving to achieve a standard and perseverance to develop their individual confidence, self-esteem, enthusiasm and higher level of dance. The preparation for these exams also supports teamwork skills, stronger friendships and that sense of belonging.
Will it affect my child's schoolwork?
