Lollies all round from Trish

I think Trish has had a good time teaching Shop because she brough a nice selection of lollies for us tonight. I’m nibbling on them now as a watch the final Shop with Trish feeling like I should be up there doing some exercise! It’s been a great six weeks of Shop with Trish with a very focused group of dancers. They have received incredible guidance from the wonderful Trish. We will miss her! Thanks Trish - you’re a star!!

Watch out! Kyle is gearing up for Shop No.2 for the year which starts on Thursday 18 May at 6pm - 7pm. That will be a different experience for everyone with another talented young dancer. Go Kyle! Looking forward to it. Remember to register to participate if you haven’t yet.

Our first S*H@O$P!

We had our first SHOP last night with Trisha Dunn and it went really well. Trish is such an amazing dancer and teacher, she was brilliant with the dancers. A variety of people attended including new company members and old Stompers. Trish led a detailed dance class giving the dancers an opportunity to really focus on clarity of movement and taking risks.

Thanks Trisha! Thanks to those who attended and if you want to join it’s not too late. call me on 6334 3802. Looking forward to getting together again next week for SHOP.
