PHILANTHROPY @ SKETA OZ

Sketa Oz Philanthropy encourages, supports and rewards talented, young artists through annual sponsorship of State and Interstate dance competitions.

We track Australian talent across the globe!

Since 2003, dance students from around the world, have competed for the prestigious Sketa Oz Perpetual Trophies, Bursaries and Medals. Each year, Sketa Oz supports the world of dance by supporting its talented up-coming dancers at eisteddfods, festivals and dance competitions conducted locally and internationally.

This year, we celebrate these young artists; find out where they are today and what life has offered them in the 16 years since Sketa Oz Philanthropy began.

Are you in any of the below photographs?

Drop Sketa Oz an e-mail and let us know what you've been up to. Better still, we'd love to catch up over coffee or an orange juice.

Yes I know...calories, calories. Once on the lips, always on the hips!

COMING SOON...
2018 Brisbane Eisteddfods

This year, the Brisbane Eisteddfods Dance Solos were slotted in for a change of time, but given the Commonwealth Games coming up, it seems many of our dancers who would like to participate are unable to during that period. Therefore, organisers have gone back to the usual month of September for the competition to take place.

Dates now back in the school holidays. 10 years & under are 22nd ~ 28th September and 11 years & over will take place 2nd ~ 6th October.
All entries close 22nd July, 2018.

For regular updates, please check out the Facebook sites: Brisbane Eisteddfod Dance Solos or Brisbane Eisteddfod for details.
