Stay Informed
Please ensure you take careful note of any information we are providing. Performance team parents have extra work in keeping on top of correspondence with links to the portal and Facebook groups but it’s vital you do this as we must comply with all the regulations external competition organisations set for all competitors. Production class students also have lots of information regarding extra rehearsals, expectations for various rehearsals, dress, make-up and hair requirements etc. We are very proud of parents that start out having difficulty getting their heads around so much information but work hard at it until they get so good, they help other parents. Best way to be on top or it is to read the Newsletter thoroughly each week and daily check Facebook pages.
NAPA Family Support 🫶🏼
Congratulations to Miss Kim, past student Bella Janssen, Flynn Anderson and Ethan Robinson, and current students Jaeda Power and Halle Anderson on their performance in Guys & Dolls at Gold Coast Little Theatre. Like many of us, Miss Kim has been too busy teaching and directing for many years to perform. She couldn’t turn down the opportunity of playing the role of Miss Adelaide in this iconic musical to get back on the stage again. It was great that Bella, Jaeda and Halle could join her as show dancers, and Flynn and Kim’s son Ethan as cast members as well. What was so heart-warming was the amount of past and current students who came to see these NAPA family members perform. We are one huge supportive and loving family here at NAPA.
Miss Kim
On a sad note, Miss Kim will be away for the next 4-6 weeks as she will be having surgery on Tuesday. We wish her well and a speedy recovery. If you have any queries regarding dance related questions, please email Kimberley [email protected] rather than email Kim whilst she is recovering.
Have a fabulous week everyone,
Lynn + the NAPA Team
