Dancing into the future; practices, insights & innovations

19 – 21 January, 2024

Following the success of  Dance and Dance Education in an Age of Interconnectivity Royal Academy of Dance Australia is hosting our fifth international conference, Dancing into the future; practices, insights & innovations. The conference aims to bring together dance teachers, scholars, researchers, practitioners, and innovators to investigate best practice in dance teaching with an exploration into both historical and contemporary approaches and a reorientation to teaching models and methods at the forefront of dance pedagogy.

“I am so pleased to be presenting our 5th conference in Sydney in January 2024 and I’m particularly excited to be hosting it in the beautiful spaces of Sydney Dance Company and Bangarra Dance Theatre. RAD Australia can’t wait to bring the dance community together again after a few years of digital dancing with an exciting programme of presentations, workshops and roundtable discussions.

Dancing into the future; practices, insights and innovations aims to continue our tradition of providing rich, learning and sharing experiences for dance teachers and industry professionals. The conference will offer opportunities to network, listen, learn and engage and stimulate thinking and ideas on dance and dance education.

Please consider joining us in Sydney for this inspiring and educational event, our RAD member presale tickets are on sale now!”

Shelley Yacopetti, National Director, RAD Australia
