DANCE - IN THE SPOTLIGHT CONCERT
Our Junior and Senior Dance Troupes performed at In The Spotlight concert at the Seymour Centre on 24 and 25 June. I had the pleasure of attending both performances and was so impressed with the amazing talent of our dancers and the professional manner in which they represented Pagewood PS. Congratulations to all of our dancers for their exceptional performances and thank you to Mrs Chrysostomou and Miss Grisanti for their leadership in assisting our dancers.
Special thanks to The Goodhew Dance Academy for the hire of their lovely costumes. We are also grateful to Mrs Hawkes and Mrs Arthur for giving up their evenings to support our dancers and teachers.
