The Oscars - dance recital

Posted by Anna on November 17, 2013

Dance Wanaka's annual recital was a huge hit with over 200 dancers performing to soundtracks from Academy Award films.

It included a wide selection of music and themes, with some favourites being Ghostbusters, Fame, Oliver, Lion King, Wizard of Oz, Grease, Chicago, Slumdog Millionaire, Mary Poppins & Great Gatsby.

The two shows on 9th November at the Lake Wanaka Centre were sell outs with 600 associated friends & family enjoying watching dancers perform ballet, jazz, Hip Hop & contemporary styles of dance.

The matinee show included 45 preschoolers who entertained the audience by dancing to music from The Little Mermaid, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang & The Muppets.

Dance Wanaka Director, Anna Thomas, was delighted with the event. It was fabulous to see the dancers shine on stage & have a real theatre experience with beautiful costumes, full stage lighting and sound.

The event includes choreography from 5 teachers, and includes many parent helpers who sew, make props, source costumes, help backstage & front house.

Many thanks to all of the parent helpers who helped make this years recital a success.  

Well done dancers.  Your teachers were very proud!
