Wow what a great first rehearsal we had today.
I’m so excited for this year's concert after watching all our beautiful dancers. Congratulations to everyone today you were all fantastic. |
Meet Tegan, she . This year is her first time playing a lead role too.
Tegan is playing the role of Celeste, the older, wiser and more sensible sister to Esme. Celeste knows all about the House of Magic and the secrets it hides, or so she thought…. There is a secret or two she is about to find out that will change her life forever! |
Meet Amy, this is her first year playing a lead role in the end of year concert.
Amy is playing the role of Logan in this years concert. She is the apprentice to the head of the council of realm leaders. An apprentice that takes her job very seriously, but what happens when they go through the circus realm? |
