NAB Dance the Dream 2011 - Applications Open!

NAB and The Australian Ballet are pleased to launch NAB Dance the Dream for 2011, a program designed to help young Australian dancers realise their potential through access to a unique training and learning opportunity.  
 
Steven Heathcote and Lynette Wills, former principal artists with The Australian Ballet, will host five NAB Dance the Dream workshops for 250 dance students across the country. In 2011, NAB Dance the Dream will visit Bendigo and feature a series of master classes hosted by Lynette and Steven followed by a Q&A session for students to gain an insight into the life of a professional dancer.  
 
NAB will also provide workshop participants the opportunity to win an exclusive dance experience weekend in Sydney to go behind the scenes and meet dancers from The Australian Ballet following a performance of Romeo & Juliet in December. As an added incentive, dance schools with the highest number of NAB Dance the Dream entries in each State will win a $500 NAB Community Grant.   Dance students aged between 9 to 16 years are eligible to apply. To enter, visit nab.com.au/ballet and, in 50 words or less, describe what 'NAB Dance the Dream' means to you. To learn more about NAB Dance the Dream, visit nab.com.au/ballet.  
 
Entries open on 15 July 2011 and close on 22 August 2011. Workshops will take place throughout October, 2011.
