Special Entry Dance Program

The Special Entry Dance Program is designed to meet the needs of students identified with high potential in the field of dance, offering unique educational opportunities in performance, creative endeavours and studies in technique and theory of dance.

Students will be taught specialised dance training, including fitness disciplines such as pilates/yoga, nutrition, anatomy and technique associated with dance performance. They will study a range of dance styles including contemporary, jazz, lyrical, classical ballet, music theatre, tap, hip hop and cultural styles, and be exposed to alternative dance genres through visiting artists.

Performance events will be an integral part of the course. In 2026, entry (via audition) to the program will be offered at Year 7 level only. Students who are interested in this program will be selected via application and audition. Students audition when they are in Year 6.

Your daughter must be enrolled to commence at Kildare College in 2026, to be eligible to apply for this program. It is an expectation that students have had significant previous experience in dance, or show a strong aptitude and interest, as well as commitment to the program for at least two years (Years 7 to 8).
