TEACHING
"I’ve worked with Dana for 8 years in different capacities - as a teacher and choreographer and mentor - since meeting her in 2010. I have employed her to choreograph my solo comedy shows, which have toured nationally, and at Comedy Festivals around Australia.
As a teacher, her dance classes are always challenging and engaging, due to unique choreography, technical skill, and mental complexity, designed to stimulate both brain and body simultaneously. Her supportive and nurturing manner allows the performer to explore and create in a healthy environment."

MUSICAL THEATRE MENTORSHIP PROGRAMS
"These programs give the mentors the opportunity to work individually with every participant in an ongoing way across the length of the program.
The programs also allow the next generation of performers access to informative, honest and supportive learning, without doing a 3-year fulltime course, which is unique.
Dana has direct access to highly regarded professional practitioners that teach in the prestigious fulltime courses and are also working professionally in the Music Theatre industry, making these courses very special indeed."

NEW MENTORSHIP PROGRAMS COMING IN 2022!
Our Music Theatre Mentorship Programs are 5 day immersive courses specifically designed for graduates from Full Time studies in Musical Theatre, to further prepare for the industry. These programs are designed to replicate a professional rehearsal scenario where Text, Song and/or Dance will be explored in a safe environment.
After the past few years we know that people are still regaining confidence in their performance or haven’t been in a rehearsal environment for quite some time. Our Mentorship programs create a safe and supportive environment to not only reconnect to your craft but also offer the guidance of industry professionals to take into your career moving forward.
