Where are they now? .c_
Since competing at GCE in both dance and singing/musical theatre solo’s & groups for a number of years growing up, Zarah Carmichael has been up to a lot of different things!!! She loves the vibe that Gold Coast Eisteddfod brings to dancers on the coast; it’s such a beautiful experience, and she certainly misses it :)
Initially, she took a step back from dance in 2021 (during Covid times), to complete a certificate IV in Crime & Justice, later beginning a university degree in Criminology & Psychological Science. After a couple years, she deferred the course to start back up her dancing dreams again. Since then, she has performed a tap piece at ‘Good Things Festival’ (a major rock / metal music festival), and also recently represented Australia in 2025 at the ‘IDO World Tap Dance Championships’, located in Prague, Czech Repbublic 🇨🇿🤍
She also teaches dance at 2 studios and started modelling, whilst also working at a retail store :) She adores the students she teaches as they are hard working and dedicated to their craft 💃♥️
We adore seeing where our past performers have ended up! If you are a past performer and would like to be featured please DM us a photo of you at GCE and what you are currently up to!
