CHOREOGRAPHIC MENTOR PROGRAM
Our mentoring program has been hugely successful at our past concerts - creating some stand out performances. Now we're excited to offer it year round!
If you have got a dream to create your own piece or are interested in learning more about choreographic processes, the 6P Choreographic Mentoring Program is for you!

What’s Involved?
The aim of this program is to provide an avenue for dance students to choreograph, teach and stage a small performance piece, with guidance from a 6P mentor teacher.
You can choose to stage your piece for video, photographs or our end of year annual concert.
