Your Opportunity
CDA Invitees
A new opportunity for exceptional potential to be noticed.
Through CDA Invitees, our invitation-only talent identification pathway, exceptional dancers may be identified by the CDA team and invited to further opportunities within the CDA network. These opportunities may include:
- Short-term training at CDA Academy in Brisbane
- Direct entry to the CD Scholarships Final
- Opportunity to train at CDA during select international guest coach and scout visits
- Acceptance into a CDA program
There is no application for CDA Invitees. Dancers are identified naturally through our Masterclasses and other CDA training experiences around the world.
What our Community says
"My youngest dancer, had been in a bit of a dance slump. The second she was learning, she felt really inspired by all the incredible dancers around her. They are both SO excited to do more workshops with you, they even requested to do the interstate ones! You've reignited a love and connected with two young dancers that will have an everlasting impact on their dance journey."
"My dancer took so much away from the day and was able to apply it immediately in self-practice, at a youth ballet production and then at a local eisteddfod where she landed on stage for the first time her double pirouette on pointe."
"Thank you for a fantastic couple of days. The masterclasses were highly professional in a very friendly atmosphere and genuine feel to help every dancer to improve. my dancer loved every minute and learnt much from Lisa and Claudia."
