Ausdance Queensland
Ausdance Queensland is the dance service organisation funded by Arts Queensland to support dance throughout the State. This means help can be on its way from Thursday Island to Charleville or Mt Isa to Moura. Membership is open to everyone interested in dance and is offered on an annual basis with three financial levels: individual, concession and organisation. The branch has over 400 members and a board elected annually by the membership. The organisation has recently moved to new premises within the Judith Wright Centre of Contemporary Art—in the heart of the Fortitude Valley cultural precinct. The new location incorporates the organisation’s administration centre, reference library and the Bell Tower Choreographic Workshop—an access studio space dedicated to the development and exploration of emerging choreographic practices.

Each listing provides an overview of the artist/company, an overview of the product, reviews and sample media releases, promotional video shorts and a selection of images.
