Regional & Remote Bursary

The Regional and Remote Dance Educators Bursary was created in 2020 by Ausdance Educators QLD (AEQ) 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 bursary will provide one practising dance educator (or the institution providing financial support for the professional development activity) with reimbursement of their costs (including registration, travel and accommodation) to attend the Queensland Dance Educators Conference 2025 (QDEC25) in Brisbane up to the value of $1000.

“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.”
