Audition | Ascension Training Program

audition ascension

Scimm. Dance's Ascension training offers weekly extension programs for dancers aged 8 to 19 years in contemporary dance. We are looking for committed and driven young dancers who want to build their technique, creativity and knowledge of contemporary dance. Dancers will have the exclusive opportunity to work alongside experienced professionals such as Artistic Directors Scott Pokorny and Tim Barnes, Kara Burdack, Zara Lim, Oliver Sievers, Samuel Dominic, BAiley Glen and Shaylin Durban.

Technique training focuses on contemporary and classical ballet in addition to conditioning, pilates, and yoga. Jazz technique, musical theatre and lyrical classes will also be offered.

The training program runs weekly on Fridays between 5:00 PM and 8:00 PM during school terms at Melbourne Dance Centre - 75 Weston St, Brunswick, VIC (the location may be subject to change). To join Ascension in 2025, we will not be holding a live audition. Instead, dancers can submit an online/video submission to info@scimmdance.com.au of themselves dancing a 1 minute video of contemporary or lyrical with their name, age, email and brief description of their dance history.
