Deciding where to study when you leave secondary schooling is always an important decision...The Flinders University program at Adelaide College of the Arts not only offered variance, experimentation and open collaboration but so much more. Dancing at Flinders University has given me widespread knowledge of contemporary dance, the opportunities to train and create alongside industry professionals, lecturers and teachers from the profession that are passionately involved in our growth and development and most importantly, the constant opportunity to perform.
