Queensland’s multi award-winning Expressions Dance Company has announced the full lineup for the forthcoming Brisbane Contemporary Dance Intensive (BCDI) in January.

Entering its fifth year, this biannual event is regarded as one of Australia’s best training programs in contemporary dance, led by a team of specially selected professional dancers and choreographers from around the country.
