OVERSEAS TOURS

NOTES: Overseas tours are open to all Bom Funk students. Students interested in performing overseas should be attending at least 2 dance classes/week excluding tour rehearsals. Students must have some performance experience & may be required to audition. Age groups allowed depend on Disney & other performance rules in each country. Usually students must be older than 6 years to perform at these places. Students who wish to travel unaccompanied must arrange a chaperone with another family/responsible adult.

Bom Funk Dance Studio's J Squad Australian team toured to perform in Hong Kong & Macau in April 2016. They had a lot of fun performing at Stanley Markets, Ocean Park, Disneyland & then just about anywhere else in Hong Kong & Macau that they could!

In 2013, Bom Funk Dance Studio embarked on its first overseas tour travelling to the United States of America. Students performed at Disneyland, Universal Studios and on Hollywood Boulevard in Los Angeles and attended workshops at some of the best Dance studios in America.

In 2016, the studio took J Squad, Australia to Hong Kong where they performed at Hong Kong Disneyland, Ocean Park, Stanley Markets and a flash mob on Victoria Harbour. Students also attend workshops and a private backstage tour of International Dance show, House of Dancing Water in Macau.

In 2019, Bom Funk embarked on a European adventure to Paris & London. Students performed shows at the Eiffel Tower, at FIAP and at Paris Disneyland and at the Victoria Embankment Gardens in London. They watched International shows & musicals including The Crazy Horse, Moulin Rouge, Lido, Wicked, Les Miserables & more! They attended cancan and contemporary workshops in Paris, hip hop and jazz at Pineapple studios and musical theatre workshops with the cast & crew of Wicked and Les Miserables in London.

On all accounts, for all those who attended, memories and experiences from these tours will last a lifetime.

This success of these tours have started a Bom Funk tradition to travel overseas every 2 or 3 years (allowing time to save and fundraise in between). Keep an eye out for our next big adventure!!
