Concert 2017

Another year almost gone! Last Sunday was our studio concert, held at Highlands Intermediate Hall. This year's theme was Music and Dance from Around the World. A big thank you to everyone who helped along the way (whether that be setting up, dressing students, sewing, or cleaning up after). We simply couldn't do it without you. And a big well done to all our wonderful students! Here's a few pictures (warning: long post ahead!)...
