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.

Unfortuately you will always get those who are not happy with a particular course, either they are not happy with teaching methods or teachers, or course structure, whatever. I have been performing for years, and have landed roles in many musicals and currently in Priscilla. Doesnt matter where you have studied it depends on your talent and what casting directors are looking for. My training was at a dance school only in NSW and hasnt stopped me. Having said that BA's are a good training background and give you a qualification.
