In 2012, House of Dance established Tasmania's first Elite Training Group; ELITE SQUAD. 

Designed to extend students beyond their usual dance training, the program covers a wide range of dance styles and an overall fitness and boot-camp style workout regime. Elite Squad is also the representation of HOD at National and International competitions and stages, frequently travelling to perform and paint orange and yellow across different cities. The Elite Squad's training method bridges the gap between standard dance school training and full time training (in places such as Melbourne or Sydney) and brings students to a pre-professional level.
 
This program has seen not only dancers and performers move onto a strong career, but highly driven students moving into law, psychology and medicine.. and completing their studies with flyer colours. This is proof that the drive, commitment, physical and mental strength, challenges and intense training of Elite Squad is truly setting students up for success - no matter what their chosen career path in life may be. 

Students are accepted into the Elite Squad training program by audition only. Auditions are held early each year. For entry throughout the year, prospective students can call a meeting with HOD's Director, Michelle, to demonstrate a private audition and interview.
