THE BALLET REPERTOIRE COMPETITION
&
THE CONTEMPORARY DANCE AWARDS - new in 2020!
The THEATRE DANCE ASSOCIATION is committed to contributing to the
general development of vocational dance; to supporting any
opportunity to invest in the future of young dancers.
Due to the COVID-19 VIRUS and subsequent lockdown, it is with huge sadness and much regret that the TDA advise that the 2020 BALLET REPERTOIRE COMPETITION and the 2020 CONTEMPORARY DANCE AWARDS will not take place in June 2020. It is our intention though to open MOVE! NATIONAL DANCE COMPETITION with these 2 events if our theatres are open by September 2020.
We pray for our President, our country, our people and our dance community especially. Stay strong, stay safe and stay home.
God bless you all
First launched in 2017, THE BALLET REPERTOIRE COMPETITION provides an elevated platform for young aspiring dancers to gain more experience in the Repertoire field before they compete at an International level.
