STUDENTS of all ages made a good song and dance in their much-anticipated annual performance over the weekend.

Dance Capital students from kinder to adults had been working hard weekly in anticipation for its two Showcase sessions on Saturday afternoon and evening.

“They really entertained and absolutely rocked,” owner Jennae Polkinghorne said. “It was so much fun with a mixture of jazz, lyrical, hip hop in both solo and group performances.

“Our feature artist was Lady Gaga and it was a great way to celebate her and come together after their last year of competing and have fun together.

“We have dancers of all ages and abilities and it’s great to see them grow and exceed.

“It’s about encouraging creativity, knowledge and passion for all aspects of performance.

“We want to see our students grow and excel individually and within their team.
