Title: Ballet is not just for girls!
Walters ballet waltz slow. Walter just turned 9 at the end of lockdown and is in year 3. He just loves Ballet.
School: Our Lady of Mercy College, CRONULLA
Title: The Face
This is a lyrical dance but it could come under the contemporary or classical categories because it has elements of contemporary dance, but it is also very balletic. I learnt this dance just before lockdown. I haven’t had a chance to perform it on stage yet and can’t wait until I do. This is choreographed by Alex Borg (former dancer at Sydney Dance Company) and is an original piece choreographed for myself, Lara Best.
School: St Finbar’s Catholic Primary School, SANS SOUCI
Title: When Will My Life Begin?
Lillian and Abigail are wondering when will their life begin outside of lockdown. Music by Mandy Moore and choreography by Studio 23 Dance Peakhurst (permission given).
