✨ Vintage Vinyl ✨
Wow! Just WOW! Over two incredible nights our students lit up the stage with talent, courage, and joy. 🌟 From overcoming nerves to performing in front of huge crowds, every child should be so proud of themselves – and we couldn’t be prouder too! 💛
Thank you to all the parents and carers for your amazing support – 14 weeks of rehearsals mean nothing without you showing up, and you came in big numbers, close to 400 on both nights! 🙌
How good are our kids?!!! 🎶👏
If you didn't bring them along and support Performing Arts, we wouldn't be able to put on shows like this! You should not only be proud of the amazing dancers you witnessed, but the way they all conducted themselves backstage! The resilience, respect, friendship, kindness and support was a beautiful thing. Not one complaint.... Just joy, excitement and pride! That’s what it’s all about!
Once again, thank you to all staff for their support over both nights, with special thanks to:
Jeremy Cass, Penny Allibon, Ashlea Dyson and Amy Armstrong. Also, thank you to parents who helped us pack up so quickly at the end of Tuesday Night’s show!
***PLEASE jump on the Qkr app and purchase the digital recording!!!!! It will only be available over the next couple of weeks- don't miss out, it is BRILLIANT!!!! (I will do my best to get it out as soon as possible!)
