10 Years of the Pre-Professional Year
Since its inception over a decade ago, The Pre-Professional Year program has seen hundreds of young dancers develop their skills and graduate into incredible emerging artists.
To celebrate this important milestone, we sat down with Sydney Dance Company’s Artistic Director Rafael Bonachela, Head of Training Linda Gamblin and five PPY alumni to learn about their experiences and how this program was brought to life.

Led by Artistic Director Rafael Bonachela, Sydney Dance Company is at the forefront of contemporary dance, both in Australia and internationally.
As a Pre-Professional Year dancer, being immersed in this environment enables the young dancer to cultivate an inquisitive mind and sophisticated movement.
With Linda Gamblin, Sydney Dance Company’s Head of Training, at the helm, the Pre-Professional Year is designed as a one or two year program providing both unparalleled industry experience and a vocational qualification .
Pre-Professional Year dancers work with numerous national and international contemporary choreographers and industry specialists each year who offer a variety of unique movement philosophies and techniques to enhance training and development.
The knowledge and skills shared by these artists and educators gives the PPY dancers an opportunity refine and develop their technique and performance skills while working and collaborating with prominent members of the performing arts industry. Focus on collaboration nourishes inclusiveness within the group and strengthens the ability and efficacy of the individual dancer. Exploring a variety of strategies to embrace varied processes cultivates emotional intelligence and analytical thinking.
Dancers in the Pre-Professional Year work towards completing CUA60120 – Advanced Diploma of Professional Dance (Elite Performance) over two years, with the option to finish after one year with a CUA51520 – Diploma of Professional Dance (Elite Performance).

III. CONDITIONING: Personal and physical development, self-efficacy and resilience are brought to the forefront of training. This focus area includes injury prevention, applied anatomy and physiology for dancers, along with nutrition and wellbeing.
IV. CHOREOGRAPHY
Exploring creative play, choreographic skills and scored and structured improvisation enhance leadership skills to work in a professional, co-creative, collaborative environment. Studio showings of works in progress occur regularly throughout each term.
V. PERFORMANCE: To contextualise, refine and redefine movement and performance qualities in the many rehearsals and performances throughout the year cultivates professionalism. Artistry is revealed through experimentation, informative feedback and debrief sessions.

The Pre-Professional Year program allows every dancer to gain the most out of each learning experience and nurture their individual growth.
