Concourse
BBO Concourse is held around July every year and involves a week of workshops for dancers and teachers of ballet, urban and musical theatre, as well as an evening of competition for the Espinosa Award. It is a wonderful opportunity for dancers to compare themselves with other dancers around New Zealand, and to really extend their skills. Every dancer who has taken part in a Concourse has come away highly enthused and inspired.
Concourse is designed for students from 8 years old upwards.
Please contact Miss Chere personally (754 3044 mornings) if you have any questions.
