Where TWC students go next
Our graduates are dancing with companies across Europe, performing in musical theatre, studying at Australian universities, and building careers in teaching, production and beyond.
What they share is that they left TWC prepared — technically, academically, and personally — for wherever they were headed. We stay in touch. We keep helping. The relationship does not end on graduation day.

Sarah Tomlinson

NOW: Dance Choreographer and High School Teacher, Sydney, Australia
“From the day I started at The Whiteley College, the scope of potential dance training opened up. The idea of being a professional dancer wasn't some far-off dream, it could actually be attainable. The discipline I developed as a dancer and the strength of character it gave me helped me get through five years of university. I still call Lucinda when I have choreography blanks for ideas.”
Russell Fenton
