Hosted at the Ararat Town Hall, the Ararat Eisteddfod provides an adjudicated platform for dancers to showcase their talents in ballet, theatrical and contemporary styles.
Dancers compete in age-based sections, determined by their age as at 1 January. Categories include 5/U to 21/O. There are also Novice sections for dancers who have never placed in any recognised competition, and Championship sections with specific qualification requirements.
