Our Dance Cruise Tour started their first rehearsal on Sunday and we are needing to raise approx $5000 to help cover all costumes, uniforms and workshops/performances for the team.
We have an Easter Raffle $2 a ticket and 3 x $5
Please support the Footworks Team. Tickets on sale in the dance shop and also by students travelling on the trip.
It will be drawn in the last week of this term.
I would like to thank (YUE SHI) Tony our guest teacher. Tony took our senior levels of Ballet and contemporary classes this week.
Tony has extensive dance experience as a professional dancer working with companies ie Qld Ballet, Singapore Dance Theatre and Royal New Zealand Ballet and now would like to offer his experience working with dancers to help reach either potential.
We hope to see him come and take more classes at Footworks in the near future.
Our Dance Cruise tour had either first rehearsal on Sunday.
Thank you and welcome to all families involved. It will be an amazing holiday. The students will learn from leading professional in the cruise industry, on the life of a dancer on the cruise ship and will have workshops with the dance captain and tours of the facility. They will perform twice on the ship and also have a tech rehearsal using all the latest equipment.
Brain storming for fund-raising ideas to help provide these students with great uniforms and costumes and hopefully some spending money too. Let’s all help to make it an experience of a life time.
After 57yrs FootworksDance will now become Air Conditioned. This is to help provide the students a more comfortable learning environment. We hope this gives the students extra energy in their dance classes and especially on those very hot summer days.
The studio glass sliding doors and the roller door will need to be kept closed when Air conditioners are in use. Also the door into the Office/Dance shop will be closed. Please help to keep these door shut after entering, to ensure the Air Conditioners run efficiently.
Thank you for understanding.
Miss Brooke will finish up teaching at Footworks at least for 12months with an opportunity to perform in Disneyland – China.
We are super proud of this achievement for her and wish her all the best. She will complete this term and then will leave Australia for approx 12months to dance & perform as a Disney character in Shanghai – Disneyland, an experience of a lifetime.
All the best Miss Brooke have a safe journey, you will be missed by all students, teachers, parents and me. Thank you for being such a great role model to the students and join in the footworks family.
Keep in touch, send us photos so we can watch you from afar and alway be part of this dance family.

Our troupes came back for a week in January. To get ready for 2019 competitions.
We had a guest teacher taking open classes, Miss Brooke working to build strength and regain flexibility and Miss Summer, Bella and Miss Gil working with old and new routines for 2019.
Thanks Miss Shannon for our fun classes and for our 15yrs and Open new jazz routines. They are going to be so great!
Keep up the good work!
We had a wonderful turnout with over 50 new enrolments into our studio and I look forward in getting to know you and your child.
Our teachers ran some fun and inspiring classes for our junior students allowing all to get in and have a go.
Ellie Barritt helped the young students style their hair with colour and make some lovely colouring in drawings.
A big thanks to the men on the free sausage sizzle which is alway a hit. They smelled so good and tasted great!
