Edu-Dance Concerts

How wonderful was it to see all the dance practice come to fruition at our end of term EDU dance concerts in Term 1.  The students looked amazing in their costumes, and everyone looked like they had a blast.

A big thanks to Mrs Iacomella for coordinating the dance timetable and concerts, classroom teachers for supporting the program, parents for cheering and creating wonderful costumes, the students for dancing like superstars and "Mrs Voicey" for teaching all the students the cool moves!!!
