MT Audition Course - help

Hi, I was just wondering if it would be possible to be accepted by a Bachelor of Music Theatre course if you have never had any official dance training. I have been in school productions and musicals, do drama and have voice lessons but I have never really taken dance lessons. I have been told that I have natural ability from a dance teacher when I went for a trial lesson and also by another dance instructor which came to my school when we had to do a dance session as part of the lesson. I am planning on auditioning for the three places that I know of in Australia that offer the course in which case, if I do get accepted, I will have to move interstate. Well it would be great if someone could perhaps tell me if there is any chance at all as I don't want to get my hopes up for nothing. Thanks.

the nida course?! lol! unless you want to be cut down by avigail hermann, then go for it. but she isnt the best person that you could be trained under. shop around, there are better people out there - trust me. by all means, audition for the course then do the course and see where u get! most of the people who have done the course (and i do mean the majority, not just the one offs who have had "success") have found employment because THEY have done the work after studying there, yes this was a start but wasnt a determination on the final product.... if that makes sense...
