We were privileged to have the Australian Ballet's visit our school, run a series of dance workshops and present a small ballet to the whole school in the hall on Thursday 16 June. 

What a sensational experience for all of the students and staff who participated in the workshops and then attended a spectacular performance of Romeo and Juliet in the hall in the afternoon. We are one of the very few schools to be selected in South Australia to have the Australian Ballet come to  visit and it was a very special event for all the students to experience.

Students from Reception to Year 4 attended the workshops while those in Years 4-6 could choose if they wished to attend.  The workshops proved to be full of fun commencing with warm ups, an then included different poses, movements and fluency.  Many of the students who attended asked if they could attend another session.  

The Australian Ballet troupe wowed our students with their amazing dancing of Romeo and Juliet.  Students were completely enthralled with only the occasional gasp and "wow" heard from the audience and the applause at the end went for at least a minute for the four dancers.  It was an absolutely wonderful experience.  Thank you to Ms Scott who organised this great day.

Here are some shots of the workshops and performance.
