Hey there Guys. Im a bit upset with this girl who just got into Brent Street. She went to the audition but got in anyways cos of the contacts she knew. She said anyone auditioning for WAAPA is mad cos its too far away and all the paid work is in Sydney, which she is close to. She has contacts who will get her jobs anywhere.

I didnt want to say anything but my sisters friend has just come back from Brent Street and she left because not even the professionals there were getting work let alone new grads. Well I think its a 1 year Diploma Course.

Hey is it better to go to Sydney to do that course and be near paid work or try out for WAAPA, what are the benefits. I have my heart set on WAAPA.

brent street take all

brent street take all levels of dancers from begginers to advanced, to do the full time perfm arts course i belive you have to have obtained a school cert, so year 10 certificate not a hsc and you have to be 17+ i think... But if u call/ email brent street they will give u all the info u need. Go to their website.www.brentstreet.com.au. bUT REMEBER there are plenty of other places out there just as good as brent street so i suggest u look around before deciding on the course!
