PERFORMANCE TEAMS READY FOR THEIR FIRST COMP OF 2024!
Our Performance Teams will be competing at Evolution Brisbane this coming weekend. Rehearsals are in full swing, and Miss Greta has been getting up early and staying up late in New York City, so she can zoom in to our rehearsals. Miss Suzanne, Miss Mandy, and Miss Hannah have done an awesome job of keeping our routines ship shape and we are so excited for the kids to hit the stage for the first time this year. Massive thank you to all our choreographers for our brilliant new routines. We can’t wait to see them.

COSTUME WORKING BEE
I was blown away with the support from our mums, grandmothers, and students on Saturday for our Costume Bee. We had so many helpers throughout the day, and it made my heart so happy to see the support and family atmosphere alive and well. A massive thank you to everyone who came and especially to our P&F Secretary Sarah for leading the charge and ensuring the day ran smoothly. You are awesome!

What a huge few weeks it has been at NAPA! Our competition season has certainly kept us busy, and we are incredibly proud of the way our students have represented the studio. Beyond the results, it has been wonderful to see the growth, teamwork, resilience and support for one another that comes from getting out on stage and putting all that hard work into practice. A massive congratulations to every student who performed, and a big thank you to our teachers and families for everything that goes on behind the scenes to make these weeks possible.
And there is certainly no slowing down just yet! We are now heading into an exciting few weeks of productions, with Bring It On and The Jungle Book Kids both getting ready to hit the stage. There is so much happening across the studio, and we can’t wait to see all of that rehearsal-room work come to life!
A little reminder as we head into production season: there will be some changes to our regular timetable during production weeks to accommodate rehearsals, performances and staff commitments. Please keep a close eye on your emails and studio correspondence, as we will communicate any class changes, cancellations or adjustments as early as possible.
It’s a busy time of year, but also one of our favourites with lots of opportunities to perform, learn, support our NAPA friends and celebrate what our students have been working towards. Thank you, as always, for staying on top of communication and for being part of our wonderful NAPA community.
Now, onto this week’s news!
