Training FAQ's
Yes. BTQ believe dancers and young people thrive when they are supported and provided with age-appropriate guidance and support. Faculty provide general industry and career advice in group settings and we welcome requests for personalised guidance, particularly as dancers look to enter the industry.
No. BTQ Productions remain independent and open to all dancers from all schools, and casting is based solely on suitability for the role in any given production. Participation in BTQ’s part-time training programs does not guarantee or influence BTQ production, audition selection or casting. The programs, however, provide a targeted approach for students to build the skills needed to audition for, and advance in performing arts settings.

BTQ only offers the Performance Pathway Syllabus, designed by our esteemed faculty for dancers who wish to learn and develop the tools required for the performing arts industry. Our program is performance and industry focused and can be used to complement existing exam/syllabus pathways.
The part-time program is designed to build performance confidence and stage-readiness through regular training in technique, repertoire and stagecraft. While participation does not include performance in BTQ’s main-stage productions, dancers will have opportunities to take part in in-house presentations throughout the year.
These experiences provide valuable rehearsal, performance preparation, and artistic development, helping dancers feel confident when auditioning for BTQ productions or other professional opportunities.
