Terry Simpson Studios’ Full Time Programme

Located in Adelaide, Terry Simpson Studios offers a Full Time Vocational Individual Coaching Programme. Dancers can now schedule an audition appointment to apply for 2014 intake.

Full Time Vocational Individual Coaching works perfectly in conjunction with external academic studies. The programme provides students with an intensive and specialised foundation on which to build careers in professional dance, dance teaching and allied dance fields. 

Many graduates of the programme have progressed through tertiary dance programs and been accepted into dance schools and dance companies interstate and overseas.

Students will receive RAD vocational exam coaching and take advanced classical and contemporary open classes. Dancers will also study pas de deux, Pilates, repertoire, and pointe while utilising specialised male coaching and competition and audition preparation.

Led by a renowned and experienced staff, teachers include: School Principal Terry Simpson (ARAD, LRAD), also RAD Examiner and Mentor; Janet Bridgman, Classical Ballet Instructor and Repertoirer for Queensland Ballet Company; Oliver Toth, pas de deux instructor of the Hungarian Dance Academy; Aidan Munn, contemporary dance, composition and boys’ class instructor; Emma Fletcher, classical, repertoire and individual coaching; and Carolyn Ferrie, musical theatre instructor and a versatile performer.
