About the Annie Greig Dance Scholarship 2026
Stepping into the professional dance world often requires more than talent; it demands exposure, training, and access to the right networks. This scholarship was created with that reality in mind.
The Annie Greig Dance Scholarship 2026 enables one promising dancer to spend at least three months training or working with established dance institutions, companies, or festivals either within Australia or abroad. Whether it’s joining a contemporary dance company, enrolling in a full-time program, or participating in mentorship-driven residencies, the focus is on meaningful growth.
Beyond funding, the program reflects the legacy of Annie Greig, a respected figure in Tasmania’s dance community whose contributions continue to shape emerging talent.
