Held annually each year the Wangaratta Festival of Dance celebrates young dancers from across the region and beyond as they take centre stage to perform and compete. The event is now in it’s 28th year.

Hundreds of competitors enjoy five days of competition in over 12 genres of dance styles including classical ballet, jazz, tap, contemporary hip hop, musical theatre, demi character and improvisation.

Soloists and troupes perform their routines in front of respected industry adjudicators who provide feedback on dancers choreography, skill, presentation, musicality and costuming.

Entry to the auditorium to watch the performances is free to family, friends and the community

The Festival also runs a Mini Troupe and Solo Competition in the Spring school holidays.  This year it will be held on Saturday 19th and Sunday 20th September.
