Joining AMPA’s Dance Program offers a myriad of benefits including: developing well-rounded and versatile dance skills; earning a degree to maximise your career options; specialising in a major of choice; studying dance performance, choreography, production & more; avoiding upfront fees with Fee-Help; and learning in a student-focused environment.
“AMPA gave me the building blocks to explore my technique and artistry so I could continue my development as a creative in the field. Gaining a Bachelor of Dance degree opened many doors in my early career and set me on a path to further education and contributions to the industry.”
BDance Graduate, Evie Morris
Establishing connections within the dance industry is paramount for a prosperous career. At AMPA, students collaborate with a different Guest Choreographer each trimester, exposing them to diverse creation styles and fostering their adaptability. Graduates frequently maintain connections with choreographers they have encountered at AMPA, leading to further professional opportunities and paid work engagements.
AMPA’s Head of Dance, Dr Maya Gavish, interviewed with Dance Informa to explain all.
“Compared to the many certificate or diploma full-time programs, AMPA is the only performance-based bachelor degree in NSW, exposing graduates to more diverse professional and educational pathways while specialising in dance performance.
Our students perform three times a year and consequently, gain plenty of stage experience and the opportunity to learn from many choreographers with diverse artistic approaches. While the Bachelor of Dance degree is practice-focused, there is also a strong emphasis on academic rigour and knowledge acquisition. Students participate in classes such as Body Science, Production, Musicianship, Arts Management, Dance History and Performance Psychology. These not only enhance the students understanding of their body, the art form and dance industry but also opens more career opportunities for them.
At AMPA we value versatility. Our dancers train in a variety of techniques, shaping them into well-rounded dancers. However, they also get to choose a major and specialise in a genre of choice…”
