For 13 years, Sharp Short Dance has supported over 2000 young dancers and choreographers under the age of 21. In 2020 and 2021 Sharp Short Dance successfully went digital and we have now seen extraordinary short films contributing to the vibrancy of the festival.  We are dedicated to forge a new hybrid path, live and digital, from Western Sydney reaching out to regions across Australia.

By donating you will help us continue offering valuable Award prizes, development opportunities for young and emerging dance artists as well as provide payment for the mentoring artists and artworkers who make the festival possible.

We believe in the creative potential of young dancers and their ability to amaze and inspire us. Sharp Short Dance is their stage and platform. Your donation can change their lives.

Your support will provide the much needed nuts and bolts to present the festival.

The Dance Hero
$500+ donations will go towards making the festival happen.

The Dance Connector
