About Us & Our Comps
About Us….
OUR MISSION To provide dance students of all ages the opportunity to perform before a receptive audience in a positive environment for qualified adjudication, prizes and trophies.
COMMITTEE We’re a small, but committed group. All of us began our involvement because our own children or grandchildren were/are participants in the Eisteddfod. 2026 will mark our 44th. year of operation and 23rd. year as “Casey Comps”) We are financially secure and so potential Committee members need not be concerned about this aspect of the Eisteddfod’s operations. We like to use this situation to maintain a high standard of reward for our competitors and, over the years, support improvements to the Cranbourne Community Theatre where we hold our event.
Our Comps
Dates for Cranbourne Community Theatre at the Secondary College in 2026 are Saturday/Sunday October 10/11, 17/18, 24/25, 31 and November 1. A Troupes weekend will be held on October 10/11. An entry management software is still to be confirmed, but entries must be limited to the available time across the four weekends. Full payment must be made at the time of entry or the details will be discarded. Please understand that we are a Committee of volunteers and do not have the capacity to allow additional time for competition. Don’t leave things to the last minute or you may miss out.
