Ausdance Victoria is the Victorian office of the Australian Dance Council - Ausdance, Australia's service organisation and peak body for dance. Originally established in 1977 as the Australian Association for Dance Education, the organisation was set up by prominent dancers and dance educators to support the dance sector's development.
Ausdance Victoria's current focus is raising awareness, understanding and appreciation of dance in Victoria; and supporting dance professionals to develop their practice. We are doing this through major activities including the Australian Dance Awards and associated Public and Industry Programs, dance in education programs and partnerships, dance development in regional Victoria, advocacy, and information services, including setting up the first Victorian Dance Directory.

Founded by Artistic Director Gideon Obarzanek in 1995, Chunky Move has earned an enviable reputation for producing a distinct yet unpredictable brand of genre-defying dance performance.
Chunky Move’s work constantly seeks to redefine what is or what can be contemporary dance within an ever-evolving Australian culture. The Company’s work is both diverse in form and content; to date the Company has created a number of works for the stage, site specific, new-media and installation work.
Chunky Move’s multi-tiered programming initiatives foster and support a strong and vibrant dance culture in its home city of Melbourne and also creates critically acclaimed and popular larger productions for touring. Recent cities toured include: Sydney, Beijing, Shanghai, Dresden, New York, Vancouver, Edinburgh and Lisbon.
ContemporaryDance.com.AU is a meeting place for contemporary dance in Australia run by volunteers for the benefit of the dance community and dance watchers. The site covers all aspects of dance, from performance, classes and TV shows to writing and experimental video.
Contemporary dance is an art form which works on so many levels, reaching audiences through physical, intellectual and emotional power. ContemporaryDance.com.AU aims to bring this power to a wider audience, through building a strong online community.
