Between the Lines Dance Concert was held last week at Epsom’s Centennial Theatre.
The near-capacity audiences on both nights enjoyed a range of performances, all of which were being assessed for either performance standards or choreography.
All year levels presented group dance performances – these ranged in genre from cultural dances such as Sasa and African Gumboot to contemporary, musical theatre and Hip Hop.
Year 12 and 13 students’ choreographies, all inspired by a story were of a high standard, and it was gratifying to see the number of junior students in these – a valuable experience for their future in Dance.
Dance at Mt Albert Grammar continues to grow in popularity both for students and audiences, and the nearly 200 dancers involved in the concert participated with commitment and energy.
At the end of the evening a presentation was made to resigning Deputy Principal Catherine Horne to acknowledge her support for the Arts at MAGS. Over the 15 years Ms Horne has been at MAGS she has attended and supported all Arts events and she will be missed by the students.
Thank go to the Arts Leaders and Prefects for their management of the concerts, and the teachers who volunteered to assist.
