Bring a REDed Show Troupe to your School!
Are you looking for an exciting new performance opportunity for your students in 2025?
In REDed’s Extra-Curricular Show Troupe program, students will shine on stage whether they are performing in intimate school halls for family and friends through to iconic venues like the Sydney Opera House.
The Show Troupe Program allows dancers to put their performance skills to the test and has a focus on extending dancers who want to pursue excellence. More than just stage time, the performance opportunities hone teamwork, self-management, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills – all while building self-confidence
Congratulations to every dancer who graced the stage this year, with special applause to those taking their first bow! Dive into the highlights of August as we spotlight the remarkable competitions our Show Troupes have performed in, showcasing their hard work to the wider community (in dazzling costumes, of course!).
Sydney Eisteddfod – August 4

Joining 2,500 performers, our dancers experienced an exciting day of competition, surrounded by diverse and competitive entries from across Greater Sydney. The adjudicators were experienced specialists who provided our dancers with invaluable feedback. Our troupes excelled, securing 14 notable placements: 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and numerous Highly Commended awards.
