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.

A great friend of mine did the Cert of MT at WAAPA which she said was a fantasic course- the WAAPA BA students were just fantastic- top class performers and top class teachers. However, because she was from interstate and due to family reasons she has moved closer to home and is now doing the BA at BAPA. Whilst BAPA may have more dance component in the course, however you are divided into groups from Level 1 Beginners to Level 3 elite, as long as you can move and have rhythm. The calibre of students is the same. Teachers from BAPA have been ex WAAPA teachers. Last year WAAPA BA students did Batboy, this year BAPA BA students did Batboy- they were interprted differently both performances were as good as each other. It depends what you want out of a course- and really not all WAAPA grads are snapped up at every audition for shows, talent is talent no matter where you train- if you've got it, it will show. If you have not danced but can move
