DanceV Australian Contemporary Dance and Vocal Workshops...

Training with Darren Disney and Ian Sandercoe.

DanceV is a workshop held during the school holidays in Australia. Aimed at creating a professional training and performance experience for dancers and vocalists.

Students learn about the audition process from experience, about their voice and use of relevant equipment on stage and vocal preparation for performances, students follow the direction of a professional choreographer: gaining knowledge in their chosen field of dance including preparing their bodies for performance. Throughout the week students prepare and view the process of creating a successful show and the workshop concludes the five days of intensive and fun training with a presentation (Showcase) of the week for family and friends.

The program will take students through the development of their chosen field from audition to performance techniques, latest industry trends in dance and technical training for professional vocalists, incorporates cutting edge music to original songs. In addition we discuss the business aspects of working within the entertainment industry.

The training takes place in the form of preparing and rehearsing for a performance; Darren Disney will choreograph students with Melissa Van Zeist. Vocalists will work with Ian Sandercoe. The Dance and Vocal Workshop is run from a given Tuesday to Saturday and concludes with a final performance showcase which takes place on Saturday evening within each workshop. Times may vary according to venue and daylight savings.

It is recommended students wear appropriate dance or fitness wear and bring lunch and water each day / evening in attendance. Show costuming is directed towards basic attire, generally within the average home.
