Reflections from 2010
DMPA teachers combined to presented Dance Dimensions Showcase a successful gala concert featuring dance schools from around Australia in July. We would like to congratulate the entire cast and crew as they all did a terrific job bringing the showcase to life. Thanks to the coordinators Natalie Bazun-Coates and Amy Richards teacher members of DMPA.
A very successful Speech and Drama Eisteddfod was held in August for the first time including a singing section.
Classical Ballet Awards were held in September with entrants from DMPA schools. For the first time we had a section for our adult students and we hope this section will continue to grow. The day was successfully adjudicated by Katherine Wightman and Lynne Stock, teachers from Rockhampton in Queensland.
