Jo Bolden, Head of Full-time
The Ettingshausens PRO full-time course is built to get you ready for the real world of performing arts, an industry that moves fast and demands versatility, skill, professionalism, and confidence in who you are as an artist. Moving beyond traditional training, we focus on true readiness: building your strength, range, and adaptability for performance, while also preparing you to thrive both as an independent artist and as a team player in any cast.
My commitment to this next generation is shaped by a career working with teachers, studios, and dancers across Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and the USA, supporting artists to take ownership of their journey with clarity and purpose. Alongside our experienced faculty and industry advisors, we share a clear belief: success is not about sameness, but authenticity.
