Required commitment
Rehearsals
You will need to attend 3 dance rehearsal sessions. Each rehearsal will take around an hour. Don't stress if you're not an expert on the dancefloor – we're putting together a simple choreographed dance so everyone can be involved.
Schedule:
- Tues 15 Feb, 12-1pm
- Wed 23 Feb, 12-1pm
- Tues 1 Mar, 5-6pm
Rehearsal venue: Sydney Uni Sports and Aquatic Centre, Basketball Show Courts
On the day
On 5 March, you’ll need to arrive at 2pm at Moore Park to collect your costume and for a final rehearsal.
Walk (and dance) with the University of Sydney float for the duration of the Parade. This will involve walking one lap of the SCG and then performing the dance routine while crossing through the centre of the field. A large proportion of time will be spent in the Marshalling area. The parade is estimated to start at 6pm and finish around 10.30pm.
