Broadway Bound Extension Class

Please note that as per our production routine, this Tuesday 1 August, will be a rest week for this class to re-coup after so many extra rehearsals and two weeks of performances. These students going to be treated in the following two weeks with two musical theatre workshops, conducted by Suzanne Lewis.

Suzanne trained as a dancer and from the age of 18 she performed professionally in Cabaret shows and on cruise ships. She used this experience and passion for performing arts to become a teacher in the UK where she designed, created and led a two-year Musical Theatre course at a further education college, where students gained nationally recognised qualifications. Having recently emigrated to the Gold Coast we are lucky enough to have been able to organise some sessions for Suzanne to work with our extension students. Suzanne will also be taking a few classes of our Musical Theatre Performance Team but the dates are yet to be confirmed.

Gold Coast Eisteddfod

Congratulations to all of our dance soloists who competed at Gold Coast Eisteddfod. We are so proud of you all!

These are certainly very special! Congratulations:
