MOVEMENT, COMMUNITY & CONNECTION
Create your 2026 solo.
Develop your choreographic voice.
Perform your work in an exclusive studio showcase.
The DDC Emerging Choreographers Program is a two-term specialty program for dancers who are ready to explore choreography, creativity and performance at a deeper level.
Across Term 2 and Term 3, dancers will work with their teachers to create, develop and refine their own solo, learning how choreographers shape movement, music and storytelling into meaningful dance.
This program is designed for dancers who want to take the next step beyond regular classes and explore choreography, creativity and performance in a focused studio environment.
What dancers will learn
Throughout the program, dancers will explore:
• Choreographic composition – how to structure a dance and develop movement ideas
• Musicality – responding thoughtfully to rhythm, phrasing and dynamics
• Storytelling through movement – creating dances with intention, meaning and emotional depth
• Performance quality – stage presence, projection and confidence
• Creative process – learning how choreographers develop, refine and polish a piece of work
Classes will include creative prompts, choreographic tasks and individual mentoring as dancers and teachers shape their solo piece over time.
Performance Outcome
The program will culminate in a culminates in an exclusive Solo Showcase Evening:
Friday 19 September
Week 9, Term 3
Dancers will present their completed solos for family and friends in an intimate studio performance.
Competition Pathway (Optional)
For dancers who are interested, DDC Solo Lab may open opportunities to represent Denmark Dance Company in regional and metropolitan dance competitions.
Students who develop a solo through this program may be invited to present their work at selected eisteddfods or competitions, including possible events in the South West or Perth.
Participation in competitions is completely optional and will be discussed with dancers and families based on readiness and interest.
