Hi everyone,

Congratulations to everyone who got into WAAPA - that's amazing.

I just have one question from anyone who got in or is there or know about it:

How good one's dancing skills have to be for the BA in Music Theatre?



Thank you!!

Hi Ed,
I just graduated from the Bachelor of Dance at WAAPA and I had many friends in the music theatre course. The music theatre course gets a lot of funding and the standard of their productions is phenomenal. I would say that dancing skills come after singing and acting skills, however they do use alot of choeography in their productions and generally the standard is pretty good. They take jazz, tap and ballet classes and the students are divided into levels, so that no matter what year you are in you are placed in the most appropriate class for your skill level.
Just keep working at it and good luck :)
