Dancers continue to impress the judges

Dancers at Beerwah State High School have been extremely busy this year including performing in the Sunshine Coast and Brisbane Dance Eisteddfod. On Friday, May 31 they competed in the Brisbane Performing Arts Challenge were they received first place in jazz, third place in contemporary, a very highly commended in hip hop and highly commended for musical theatre.

The capacity to impress the judges has clearly grown with each performance judging by their results from their fourth competition for the year at the Australian Pinnacle Dance Challenge.

The 25 amazingly talented students that make up the Beerwah Dance Company exceeded all expectations and came away with first place in jazz, hip hop A, contemporary and hip hop B and musical theatre, as well as receiving a third place in student choreography and honourable mention in both lyrical and musical theatre B.

Beerwah High Dance captain Tahli Cero said performing at Pinnacle was a great bonding experience for all of the company and “I couldn’t have had a better time”.

“It was a great day and motivational for all of us as a team and connected us more as our own mini dance family,” Tahli said.

Beerwah High head of arts Jessica Rossberg said everyone at Beerwah State High School was incredibly proud of the dancers.

“The early morning starts, lunch breaks, after school sessions and weekend rehearsals have certainly paid off for these passionate students,” she said.

The students are keen to share their work with the community. If you would like to see their routines and many other fabulous pieces they will host their annual dance night in October.

Tickets go on sale at the start of term four and GC&M News will keep readers informed of how they can attend the performance closer to the date.
