Developed in Australia
ADV’s syllabus is Australian-owned which means all funds remain in Australia – dedicated to ADV members – generating work in the Australian arts industry.
The program fosters and nurtures children’s development as whole person, not merely a dancing body. The syllabus covers a wide range of dance subjects including not only technique but also anatomy, nutrition, history, performance skills, creative dance, mime and improvisation, music appreciation and industry knowledge.
