Ausdance ACT is a prominent sports club located in Canberra, Australia. As a chapter of Ausdance, the national advocacy body for dance in Australia, Ausdance ACT works tirelessly to promote and support the development of dance in the region.
One of the club's main goals is to provide professional pathways and new work development opportunities for local dance artists. They achieve this by partnering with organisations such as Canberra Theatre Centre's New Works Programme. Through this partnership, Ausdance ACT offers a New Works Dance/Physical Theatre opportunity, encouraging makers of new performance work with a strong connexion to Canberra to showcase their talent and progress their ambitions.
Ausdance ACT also collaborates with Good Sports, a programme dedicated to creating safe and inclusive sporting environments. By partnering with Good Sports, Ausdance ACT extends member benefits and promotes Safe Dance® Practise messaging. The club has worked with local member studios to develop a positive messaging poster campaign, which will be rolled out across Australia.
Membership with Ausdance ACT grants individuals access to a range of benefits and resources. Members can participate in Dance Focus, a dance film initiative designed to challenge and engage with screen dance. They also have the opportunity to attend workshops, performances, and networking events that foster creativity, skill development, and community building.
