PDSSSC Dance Competition

Dance at St Agnes Rooty Hill

Over fifty St Agnes students performed at the annual PDSSSC Dance competition held at the Joan Sutherland Performing Arts centre in Penrith.

Dance Elective students engaged in the unit, On Stage, as part of their curriculum. This unit focuses on the development of movement and different dance styles. The ‘On Stage’ assessment task included students having to co-choreograph and perform a routine in front of an audience. The Dance Elective students were a credit to St Agnes and produced commendable performances in the following dance styles, Jazz, Contemporary and Hip Hop.

Three Dance Elective students participated in the Solo dance category, Sarah Price, Elyse O’Brien and Maddison Harris all performed a praiseworthy Contemporary dance routine.

St Agnes also amazed the audience with a dynamic and energetic Pacific Island Cultural performance. The entire cultural ensemble danced with synchronicity and passion. The performance was a mixture of live percussion and voice. Congratulations to our cultural performance, which placed 2nd in the competition. The judges noted that it was extremely close between 1st and 2nd place.
