Our ballet and dancing school on the Gold Coast prepares classical ballet, jazz dancing, and tap dancing students for entry into various eisteddfods as solos, duos, trios, or in performance groups.

~ Kay Flynn Ballet and Dancing Academy :: Eisteddfods

The Academy encourages our students, where they show interest, to enter in the many eisteddfods that occur on the Gold Coast every year.

Our students regularly gain first placings, as well as seconds and thirds, and highly commended awards.

Change text to read – Students can dance in solos, duos, or trios. The Academy choreographs the dances and provides private lessons to help bring students up to competitive level.

However, whilst the eisteddfods are all about competing with their peers, we emphasize all the time that dance is for enjoyment, and the chance to dance on stage should be taken as a chance for an enjoyable experience in itself, with any final placings a bonus. Not all competitors can win and we praise and encourage equally all those that compete as well as winners and place getters.

Eisteddfods can be good fun, but we recognise that many students do not wish to be involved with them, and we only encourage those that express interest, so that no pressure is placed on those that for any reason, do not wish to enter them.

Some of our students travel down into NSW and up into Brisbane to get experience in dancing against other dance schools they might otherwise never see.

The academy sometimes invites students to join the Kay Flynn Performance Group.

This performance group may consist of a group of dancers of the same age, or a mix of ages.
Ms Flynn choreographs special dances for the group, which then competes in group sections of the eisteddfods.

These performance groups have had a high success rate in competitions.
