The
West Gippsland Dance Festival has run
successfully for the past 21 years. In that time we have
grown from being a small regional festival to a highly
regarded, major amateur dance competition. Held annually at
the West Gippsland Arts Centre, Warragul, the festival is
conducted in September over 10 consecutive days for
approximately 12 hours per day. Our age groups range from
Under 6 to 17 and over. Our sections cover classical, jazz,
character, song and dance, tap, national, neo
classical/contemporary, hip hop and negro spiritual.
Dancers can compete in solos, duos/trios, improvisations,
troupes as well as championship sections.
Due to our location and magnificent venue we receive
entries from all over Victoria, but primarily the Melbourne
metropolitan area, East, South and West Gippsland. We
average 2,500 entries each year from approximately 30 dance
schools.
Warragul
is situated in West Gippsland, an easy one hour drive from
Melbourne. A number of attractive gardens and parks are
located in Warragul, with the most scenic being Civic Park
featuring a large lake, rotunda, picnic shelters,
playground, walking tracks and a waterfall. Overlooking the
park are the local government offices and the West
Gippsland Arts Centre.
Warragul has many options for accommodation including a
beautiful caravan park, motels and bed & breakfast
accommodation. It also caters well for dining with a range
of fast food outlets, many restaurants and cafes.
