Festival of Dance 2024 - WA
The Festival of Dance will take place from 30 May – 02 June in Perth, Western Australia.
RAD Australia invites students to take part in the Festival of Dance WA 2024. This Festival is open to students from WA studying all methods of training and aims to bring together the dance community in a positive and uplifting way.
The Festival of Dance gives WA dancers the chance to compete for a range of awards including four coveted and prestigious scholarships and has long been a springboard for the careers of many aspiring and pre-professional dancers in the region. The Festival has become a highlight for the dance community of WA and a fantastic performance opportunity for students.
The Festival will culminate in a Gala performance on Monday 3rd June, with performances from the award recipients and special guest artists and the awarding of the coveted David McAllister Cup.
