The Queensland Dance Education Conference is an annual professional development event for dance educators and teachers in Queensland, produced by Ausdance QLD in association with our Ausdance Educators QLD subcommittee.

QDEC25 will take place over two days, May 2nd and 3rd, in Magan-djin/Brisbane at the Thomas Dixon Centre.

The conference aims to challenge, enrich, and educate dance teaching professionals. In 2025, it will feature learning content tailored for primary, middle, and secondary dance educators across all schooling sectors, as well as independent studio and freelance teachers.

Participants will engage with a dynamic program of speeches, panel discussions, and presentations—ranging from creative works to current issues in dance education—and participate in practical dance classes. The conference will continue to prioritize integrating grassroots First Nations perspectives and addressing curriculum requirements for embedding these perspectives in schools.

Some sessions of QDEC25 may be webcast for regional participants, and resource packs—subject to Cultural ownership, copyright, acknowledgment, and permissions—may be provided by presenters.
