FAQs

  • HUBPRO is focused on the success and outcome of each individual. To us, you’re not another number. Many other Performing Arts courses have over 50 students per year, sometimes even hundreds. Unless you’re cream of the crop, it’s likely you’re going to be lost in the crowd. That doesn’t mean you don’t have what it takes to go all the way, you just need to be in a space where your teachers and coaches can focus on you.

  • Students who have already completed a full time course, but are still feeling lost or confused regarding their career trajectory, can contact us directly about applications. We are currently offering a discounted tuition rate to these students as an acknowledgement of the fees they’ve already had to pay, with not much result. If this is you, please email us directly at enquire@hubpac.com

  • HUBPRO Students will be supported individually, by a team of industry professionals who have done it themselves. Based on their experience, as well as our own, we find certification redundant at this point in time.

    Ultimately, performers secure work and auditions through displays of physical capability - not paper. Unfortunately this is a misguided notion in full time courses. Instead, our training is more affordable and accessible by diverting funds from certification into world class training and tangible items you actually need to pursue a career in the Performing Arts.

  • We are currently only accepting applications for students based in Australia or New Zealand. You must have Australian or New Zealand citizenship/residency.

  • You can register for our Live 2025 Auditions here. If you can’t attend in person, you can upload an Online Submission or contact us directly to arrange a private audition. Click here to learn more.

  • Following on from your live audition/online submission, you can expect to hear from us within 7 days. If auditioning online, we will likely arrange an online call so we can e-meet you and understand your goals and dreams.

  • Once your spot at HUBPRO has been confirmed, you will receive a list of your necessary class materials. Essentially, it will be correct dance clothing and shoes, as well as access to a laptop or tablet for all of your theory classes.

    In addition to this, we will begin to plan your Pre-Season (i.e. Physio Assessment and Nutritional Consultation) in preparation for next year.
