PERFORMANCE GROUP SHOWCASE

During the last week of Term 3 our Performance Groups treated us to a week of in-house showcases.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank all of our wonderful Performance Group students for their continued hard work and enthusiasm during such a difficult year. We know how tough it is being in a competition group with no upcoming competitions, we’re hoping that our Term 4 competition will go ahead. If you are a Performance Group student and didnt receive your showcase video please email the office, lcda@lcda.com.au

CECCHETTI BALLET EXAMINATIONS

122 students, from Pre-Primary to Advanced 1 sat their Cecchetti Ballet Exam last term!

We couldn’t be prouder of everyone’s hard work & commitment this year, both in the studio & on Zoom.

You all should feel very proud of yourselves. Hopefully we will receive results from the September session soon!
