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.

I have seen showcases from the entertainment factory and I do not recommend it. I had a friend in the diploma and it was unprofessional and distressing for him to be a a part of. As far as I know, only three graduates from their diploma course have gone on to successfully study elsewhere. However, as with most things, that's subjective. It might be the right place for you, but just so you know but the entertainment factory and somewhere like WAAPA are vastly different. I'm not sure what state you're in, but do look around for a class that offers basic jazz/tap/ballet. Any sort of dance training- formal or informal- at this point will help. Good luck!
