Est. 2016
The KRAVE perth dance agency idea started to develop many years ago and, on returning to Perth, after almost 20 years living & performing in the USA & Europe, the idea became a reality when I realised there was no dance agency in Perth!
In October 2016, the agency was officially launched!
KRAVEpda now represents a broader pool of talented specialists: Singer/Dancers, Aerialists & Gymnasts - with a focus on the cruise ship industry & local, national and international opportunities.
What do you KRAVE?
