RRSDΒ Opportunities
EISTEDDFOD
At RRSD, we proudly engage in a variety of competitions, with the highlight being the Annual Macrossan and Amiet Mackay Eisteddfod. Our talented groups, ranging from 8 Years to Mature and Motivated, take the stage at the Mackay Eisteddfod each year, consistently achieving remarkable results. We are dedicated to offering our students the chance to collaborate with world-class choreographers, ensuring that the most innovative and contemporary dance routines are taught and performed. This event provides an exhilarating opportunity for RRSD students to showcase their skills and build confidence in a supportive and inspiring environment. Countless hours are devoted to preparing for these competitions, and we cherish the strong bonds that are formed among dancers during this time. Each year, the excitement grows as our students display their hard work and commitment, creating unforgettable memories. The Eisteddfod is more than just a competition; it is a vibrant celebration of talent, creativity, and the joy of dance that unites our community.

EXAMINATIONS
As part of our unwavering commitment to delivering high-quality tuition, we proudly offer our dancers the opportunity to participate in Comdance examinations across a diverse range of styles, including Ballet, Tap, Modern Jazz, Contemporary, Hip Hop, and Theatrical & Performing Arts (Musical Theatre). While examinations are optional, we highly encourage them as they serve as a motivating goal for dancers to strive for each year. These challenges not only inspire excellence and improvement but also instill a sense of commitment and dedication in our students. Dancers are celebrated with certificates, trophies, and detailed reports, recognising their hard work and achievements. Comdance Australia presents innovative and engaging examinations for students of all levels. These exams are a fantastic way to enhance students’ confidence alongside their skills. At Roby Rogers School of Dancing, we believe every dancer has the potential to shine brightly. Our dedicated instructors offer personalised guidance to ensure each student feels well-prepared and confident on exam day. We celebrate every achievement, no matter how big or small, fostering a nurturing environment where dancers can truly thrive. Join us in embracing the joy of dance and the excitement of examinations, as your dancer reaches their full potential.
DANCE EXCELLENCE LA
Dance Excellence is an exclusive invite-only event that brings together studios from around the globe, recognising their unwavering commitment to dance, performance, and arts education. We at RRSD are absolutely thrilled to be the chosen dance school representing Queensland, Australia at Dance Excellence LA, alongside talented representatives from all 50 United States and 27 countries worldwide. This prestigious convention, held in the vibrant heart of Los Angeles, the entertainment capital of the world, offers dancers the opportunity to engage in classes, workshops, and International Performance Boards that showcase a diverse range of genres. A standout moment of the week is the exhilarating group performance on stage at Disneyland, California. Here, teachers and dancers unite to create, laugh, learn, and sweat together, all while forging connections through their shared passion for the arts. This truly is an extraordinary experience for students, allowing them to collaborate with some of the worldβs leading choreographers and professional dancers, all while preparing them for real-life experiences. The growth and transformation students undergo during this week are remarkable, with visible changes by the end of the event. In 2016, RRSD proudly represented Queensland, Australia for the sixth time at Dance Excellence, and we are beyond excited to embark on this journey again in 2025!
COMMUNITY EVENTS
At Roby Rogers School of Dancing, we believe that community involvement is essential not only for sharing our passion for dance but also for instilling in our students the values of compassion and giving back. Our school proudly participates in a variety of community events throughout Mackay and its surrounding regions, including Relay for Life, Flash Mobs for Cancer Awareness, the RACQ Charity Ball, The Mackay Show, the GS Engineering Food and Wine Festival, and numerous fundraising initiatives, as well as outreach programs in Coppabella, Valkyrie, and Nebo. Engaging with our community fosters team spirit, strengthens relationships, and cultivates shared values, creating a true sense of family. These initiatives empower our dancers to leverage their talents for positive change, nurturing a culture of generosity and collaboration. Join us as we continue to dance for a cause and inspire others to follow suit.
