Dance Educator
Travel Bursary

The Dance Educator Travel Bursary (formally the Regional and Remote Dance Educators Bursary) was created in 2020 by Ausdance Educators QLD to recognise and alleviate the challenges that dance educators from regional and remote communities in Queensland experience in attending professional development in-person. 

In 2025, the travel bursary will provide practicing dance educator/s (or the institution providing financial support for the professional development activity e.g. Department of Education) with reimbursement of their costs for travel and/or accommodation and complimentary registration to attend the Queensland Dance Education Conference 2025 (QDEC25) in Brisbane (or regional event, if preferred) up to the value of $1000. 

Please read the bursary guidelines below before applying.

“The overall experience was so valuable to me, and will have a positive ripple effect on my students and wider community as I now can share all I have learned. This is great encouragement to keep developing and evolving as a dance teacher.”

Caitlin Sands, 2024 recipient (Trinity Bay State High School, Cairns)
