Welcome to 2009!

After an extremely successful 2008 for the Academy, culminating with the Christmas Show, our dancers are taking a well earned break to enjoy the summer weather.

However, 3 of our New Zealand Champions have been practising in the summer heat in preparation for the World Championships.

In mid March Chris Hodgson, Ashleigh John and Jessica Mack will head to Philadelphia, USA representing New Zealand to compete.

2009 classes commence February 9th for the rest of the Academy.
