Each performance will go through one of three heats to enter the final, where it will then be judged by a panel of industry experts including former finalist and renowned choreographer from TV’s So You Think You Can Dance, Marko Panzic.
“What an awesome experience to judge Fast+Fresh Dance last year. I got to witness so much up and coming young talent. The Fast+Fresh festival is such a great platform, for young emerging dancers and choreographers, especially in western Sydney. I love the energy and enthusiasm of all the artists and think this is one of FORM’s best programs.”
From krumping to classical, jazz to contemporary, all participants in Fast+Fresh Dance are eligible for the Festival’s sponsored awards including Best Male Dancer, Best Female Dancer, Most Outstanding Choreography, Best Solo, Duet and Group Performance and the Audience Choice Award.
Award winners will share in a fantastic prize pool including two secondments with the prestigious Sydney Dance Company and Bangarra Dance Theatre, free classes with Urban Dance Centre and Sydney Dance Company Studios, as well as dance gear, vouchers and magazine subscriptions all up for grabs.
