The Space to hold early audition for 2019

The Space Dance & Arts Centre in Prahran, VIC will soon hold its early audition for 2019 entry to its fulltime courses. This early audition is scheduled for 6 p.m. on Thursday, August 2. Dancers can register to audition at thespace.com.au/training.

A subsequent audition will be held on Sunday, September 9 at 11 a.m. Interested students who cannot make these auditions can also audition via video footage.  

Dancers auditioning will be vying for an opportunity to study at The Space, which has successfully developed a new method of training, designed for time and energy efficiency and to maximise your dance improvement in a more time efficient way! Named “Flexible Intensive Industry Training”, or F.I.I.T, this new and exciting addition to the Melbourne professional dance training scene runs from 9 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. Monday to Friday. 

Leaders at The Space believe dance is a physically demanding endeavour and no one can truly work their hardest for 8-10 hours a day, day after day. Professional athletes typically don’t train for 8-10 hours a day at maximum intensity, and so The Space believes you shouldn’t either!

F.I.I.T consists of training in Ballet, Contemporary, Jazz, Commercial, Hip Hop, Physical Conditioning and more.

The 9 a.m. – 12:45 p.m. schedule leaves dancers the time and energy for the gym, plus other fitness and flexibility work, while still allowing them to work and look after themselves both physically and mentally. 

For those with more time, energy and inclination, they can pay full fees up front and have unlimited access to all of The Space Dance & Arts Centre’s casual dance classes – including over 80 additional classes a week in a huge variety of styles and levels.

With multiple levels in all styles, F.I.I.T is for a variety of dancers seeking to improve, from professional dancers who have completed significant training elsewhere and want to improve, to singers and actors wanting to better their dance level and fitness, to pre-professional dancers wanting to bring their level up to a professional standard.

Training options include:

#1. Entire programme for the year, plus unlimited classes from The Space’s casual class timetable (for upfront payment, exclusions apply.)

#2. Per term. Train for one term or pay for each term as you go.

#3. Opt in for nationally recognised accreditation. (Students work towards accreditation by doing additional coursework one afternoon per week). These accreditations include CUA40113 Cert IV in Dance (Elite Performance) and CUA50113 Diploma of Dance (Elite Performance) – both of which are delivered in partnership with Australian Teachers of Dancing (RTO#31624).
