2008-2009 HIGHLIGHTS

FIELD TRIPS & GUEST  ARTISTS

We had an incredible field trip to Vancouver. The students who travelled on this trip visited SFU, the Dance Centre, took classes with Mo Brody and Kathryn Ricketts and went to Ballet B.C. We also took in an incredible performance by the Langley Fine Arts Dance Program.

A big thank-you to Josh Beamish from MOVE for the fantastic workshop on March 13th.

We also had a master class in early February with Ballet Jorgen. Great work to all who danced their hearts out!

The dance team travelled to Armstrong in April to compete in Adrenaline at PVSS. The girls danced impressively and had a high score of 94 out of a possible 100 in one of their routines.

We participated in International Dance Day on April 29th and raised awareness about our program and our need for adequate space. 

Congratulations to all of the students, parents and staff that made our first ever dance show an incredible success.
