Another wicked issue of DANCEtrain is headed your way! Over the concert season I had the privelige of shooting many dance schools' end of year performances. The talent of these young artists is astounding, and I'm so happy to be able to share some of my favourite images with you in this issue. Check out gorgeous pics from Brent Street Studios, ED5 International, Ikin Dance, Urban Dance Centre and the Sydney City Youth Ballet.

Now is a great time to start looking for the next competition to enter! We've brought you info from some of the best competitions from around the country to help you make your choice! Check out page 8 to find a great comp or eisteddfod near you!

Our resident experts teach you how to achieve the perfect pointe and how to defy gravity, with cool interviews with Steven McRae and Marissa Burgess.
