Dance Revue Year 11 Semi-formal
Dance
Revue
After a one-year hiatus, Dance Revue was back bigger and better than ever in 2022. Around 100 talented students prepared for months for the two performances on Saturday 10 and Sunday 11 September, including members of StAC Dance, the Ballet Academy, soloists, and dance groups.
The 25 slick, high energy performances, which showcased an eclectic range of dance styles, from jazz, hip hop and ballet, to musical theatre and contemporary, were enjoyed by an appreciative audience of over 200 people.
Head of Dance, Sophie March (Year 12) and Dance tutors, Charlotte Brown and Moana MacDonald (both Year 13), with support from Ballet Academy Artistic Director, Dr Carolyn Cairns, Cariad Parker and Sandy Gray, did a fantastic job of organising the event and creating its stunning choreography.
Glitz and glamour were on full display at the Year 11 Semi-formal, with its theme, ‘A Night at the Oscars’. The Middle School leaders did a superb job of planning and organising the event, which included decorating the venue at Riccarton Racecourse in spectacular style. Around 270 students from St Andrew’s College and other schools attended. The dance floor was heaving, and lots of photos were taken. Awards were given to Rosa Hill, Jack Flanagan and Jenna Howell (Best Dressed), Guy Stokes (Best Dancer), and Nilo Labbe Hubbard and Madison Hughes (Best Couple). Preparatory School Receptionist, Kelsey Williams, Year 11 Dean, Riley Gain, and the prefect group also helped to organise the event.
