Queensland Dance Education Conference 2023 is a one-day professional development event for dance educators and teachers in QLD, produced by Ausdance QLD in association with our Ausdance Educators QLD subcommittee at the Thomas Dixon Centre in Brisbane.
The purpose of QDEC23 is to challenge, enrich and educate dance teaching professionals. In 2023, the scope of the conference includes learning content for primary, middle, and secondary dance educators in all schooling sectors, and independent studio & freelance teachers.
You’ll listen to speeches, panel discussions and presentations (both of creative works and on current issues in dance education) and actively participate in practical dance classes. There is a focus on integrating grassroots First Nations perspectives and addressing the key curriculum requirement of embedding First Nations perspectives into teaching in schools.
Some sessions of QDEC23 will be webcast for regional participants and a resource pack - pending Cultural ownership, copyright, acknowledgement, and permissions – may be provided by presenters.
