Sienna Andrade-Wurzer, Ettingshausens PRO 2024 Graduate
“Choosing Ettingshausens PRO was easily the best decision I ever made. A full-time school with a nurturing environment where I was still prepared for the difficulties of the industry seemed impossible; until I found Ettingshausens. It very quickly became like a second home throughout my full-time journey and continues to be a safe space for me. This is all due to the friendly staff and the family environment fostered at Ettingshausens. I grew so much as a performer, reaching goals that my younger self never thought I could achieve. That all boils down to the high quality training I experienced with some of the industry’s best facilitators. I felt my self growing every single day and shocked myself at the progress made in just one term. I have left Ettingshausens PRO prepared and ready to attack the industry. I couldn’t recommend this course enough.”
CUA51520 DIPLOMA OF PROFESSIONAL DANCE (Elite Performance) First year

Each day classes are led by industry experts who will inform your path to a professional career. You will also meet and be seen by agents and casting directors who are employing dancers both locally and internationally.
Kelley Abbey, Australian Dance Industry Icon
“I think it’s impossible to learn everything you need to know about being in the industry in a one year full time performing arts course. Having taught at full time courses for thirty plus years, it occurs to me that a two year course gives you better exposure to the craft in a much more thorough way. It also gives you the space and time to develop it with maturity and understanding. I see students that have studied for two years, graduate with a lot more finesse, polish and a better grasp of what it takes to be a hireable performer.”
CUA60120 ADVANCED DIPLOMA OF PROFESSIONAL DANCE (Elite Performance) Second year
This course is for: Dancers who have successfully completed the Diploma of Professional Dance and wish to enhance and extend their training. This course is also open to dancers who have trained at another institution at a similar level and wish to complete an Advanced Diploma.
Content: While students continue to strengthen their dance and performance skills with daily master classes, Advanced Diploma students have identified their path and are ready to hone their skills, diving deeper into their professional training and readiness. The Advanced Diploma program allows for more time spent in small group sessions on specific career topics with leading industry PRO’s.
Career: Our Advanced Diploma course is offered over a 4 day week with the specific intention of giving our second year students the extra time to pursue career opportunities and put their skills in action.
On top of this, we have designed a second year only Mid-Year showcase which offers students the chance to contribute, co-create, work their industry skills differently and be mentored by our Faculty 1-1 on the journey to performance.
