* Kim Roe School of Dance is very kindly providing their studio for the workshops but is not running the program. The workshops are run by the Australian Ballet Education and Outreach teams and they are open to anyone! (including if you're from a different studio, or have never danced before). The focus of the program is on working together to produce a new dance work, which allows options for all abilities. If needed we may also split into sub-groups by age or dance level throughout the process to ensure all participants have a valuable experience.
