Ausdance ACT will soon present its 40th Youth Dance Festival (YDF), offering a platform for self-expression through movement by staging live dance performances made by secondary schools from all over Canberra and the regions.

From 6-8 November, the Canberra Theatre Centre will be taken over by young people voicing their response to the 2024 theme, ‘What Do You Dream?’, channelling their imaginations and reflecting on what sort of world they want to live in.
