PART TIME & FULL TIME PROGRAMS

PSB Professional Training Program is recognised as one of the top professional dance training programs in Australia and is founded on the following principles:

  • Comprehensive Training
  • Technical Strength
  • Expert Instruction
  • Integrated Syllabus
  • Artistry and Performance
  • Safe Practices
  • Holistic Support

Our Contemporary Dance curriculum training works in conjunction with our ISTD Modern Theatre syllabus.

Modern and contemporary dance are expressive and innovative styles that break away from the traditional forms of classical ballet. Rooted in freedom of movement and creativity, these styles emphasise fluidity, grounded movements, and emotional connection.

Modern dance often explores abstract ideas and themes, while contemporary incorporates elements of various dance genres, blending techniques from ballet, jazz, and beyond. Known for its versatility and focus on individuality, modern/contemporary dance allows dancers to express themselves authentically and connect deeply with their audience.

CHARACTER 
Character dance is the stylised representation of a traditional folk or national dance, mostly from European countries.

It uses movements and music which have been adapted for the theatre and are used by many modern-day ballet companies.
