Urdang Intensives

Urdang Intensives @ City is an innovative Musical Theatre and Dance course designed exclusively for aspiring performers aged 16 - 21 (from October 2025 aged 16-18).

This comprehensive 5-day course is tailored to hone students’ skills, elevate confidence, and prepare for success at Higher Education training institutions.

Skills and experience gained will be able to be utilised across all areas of Musical Theatre and Dance within the higher education sector, making the move to professional training even more accessible.
