Why Students Love VET Dance

It’s practical, performance-based, and creative

You get to choose styles that suit YOU (jazz, contemporary, street, lyrical, tap, ballet…)

Your solos make up 50% of your final score (yes, you get marks for dancing!)

You’ll walk away with a real qualification — not just a school report

And let’s be honest… it’s way more fun than accounting. (Sorry accounting students we still love you)

How It Works

Flexible options to suit your schedule, studio… and life.

We get it — you’ve already got school, comps, rehearsals, and a million things going on. That’s why we offer three easy ways to study VCE VET Dance with DTO:

Option 1: Virtual Classrooms

Join our live online classes once a week with a passionate, qualified trainer — from anywhere in Victoria!

You’ll do your two technique classes (e.g. jazz and contemporary) at your current dance studio.

Option 2: In-Person at DTO

Prefer to be in the room with your trainer each week? Come along to our weekly in-person classes, and complete your technique sessions at your regular studio.

Locations currently include Brunswick and surrounding areas.

Option 3: Partner Studios Across Victoria

We’ve teamed up with over 30 dance studios across the state to make VET Dance accessible no matter where you are.

You’ll train with a local studio that delivers our accredited program — the same quality, closer to home.

Each option includes:

A supportive learning community
Structured lessons and performance support
Feedback from experienced VET Dance trainers
All assessments and qualifications delivered by DTO

Whichever path you choose — you’re working toward the same nationally recognised result, in a way that fits your life.
