Seven year old Renee has been dancing for two years. Her favourite style of dance is Lyrical, which uses long flowing skirts.  Renee likes lyrical because of the graceful moves she has to do.

Renee is also learning ballet, acrobatics, tap and modern jazz. She recently took her first tap exam and passed with Distinction (the highest level).  

Renee is now practicing the splits and hopes to have mastered these when she returns to class in 2012. 

We chose Renee as our star in the spotlight this month because she has been concentrating and trying very hard in each class.

Well done Renee. We hope you enjoy your dance book.

Congratulations this month go to 4 year old Brooke who is in her second term of classes with the school.

Brooke, who will soon turn 5, takes classes in Modern Jazz, Lyrical, Tap and Acrobatics. She is the youngest dancer in her class but that does not faze her. She always brings her smile with her and works hard all through the class, even when its really hard.

She is our star this month because she was the only dancer in her class who remembered all the steps for the groups new modern jazz dance.   The dance requires fast movement of arms and legs in a coordinated sequence and Brooke performed it with lots of energy and enthusiasm.

Her teacher Michelle gave her a huge Hi 5 at the end.

Brooke says the dance "Raining Sunshine" is her favourite. Watch out for it in our performance in July.

Well done Brooke, keep up the good work.
