NEW IN 2025- TROUPE SECTIONS FOR PUBLIC SCHOOLS ONLY
All schools are welcome to compete at DanceSpec- Public, Private, Independent & Catholic.
After many years of public schools requesting a separate division, we will be trialling this in 2025.
Please select when entering if your public school entry would like to enter the ‘Public Schools Only’ division. It is still fine to enter the overall division if preferred.
