Welcome to Bundaberg Dance Academy, providing quality training in a friendly, caring, air-conditioned environment. We teach a broad range of styles for all ages and abilities.

Welcome back to 2014!

BDA is really excited to introduce Riley Baldwin to our teaching faculty this year. Riley is a graduate of New Zealand School of Dance. Riley just completed his final year of dance training and is now of a professional status.

In 2009 Riley commenced full time training at the Australian Dance Performance Institute. Upon graduating here he successfully auditioned for the New Zealand School of Dance as a classical major. However eighteen months later Riley saw his passion for contemporary dance unfold and switched to the contemporary stream.

 

Over Riley’s time training overseas he has performed works by the Australian Dance Theatre and Sydney Dance Company, some in leading roles. He has also performed in dance festivals and at events throughout New Zealand, as well as having worked alongside world renowned choreographers from the contemporary dance industry from places all around the world.

Riley will be working with our contemporary and classical students and we are excited for the students to learn from such an experienced and professional contemporary dancer.

 

 

 

 

This year students are able to trial styles that they haven't participated in before. Students will be able to attend classes for new styles for the first 2 weeks of Term 1 to decide if they would like to continue, if not there will be no charge for these 2 weeks.
