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.

Apart from my query regarding more well known national institutional courses, I can support Glossop’s comment regarding the CQU Conservatorium M/T course at Mackay as it is one I have had knowledge of for a while now. If you take the time to check out their site, read through the staff list, you might be surprised. It may not be a “big-time” course yet and it is away from the bright lights but they are obviously consolidating some very experienced industry professionals in their ranks. It is certainly looking like a better option than it once may have been.
