Dancers prepare showcase

Half a year of practice will go on show this weekend when Ararat Dance Centre students present their eighth annual concert.

From classical ballet to hip hop and contemporary dance, the Ararat Town Hall performances at 4pm on Saturday and 1pm on Sunday will feature a variety of genres and skills.

Teachers Karly Harris and Kristy Fenn said more than 100 dancers from three years of age to adults had spent the second half of 2019 practising their concert choreography and items.

Ms Harris said the concert would be an opportunity for students to showcase their talent and passion on stage after a ‘busy year’.

She encouraged people to attend and show their support.

“It has been a really busy year, with Ararat Dance Centre students sitting their Australian Teachers of Dance ballet, tap, musical theatre and national character exams in June and then learning routines in the second half of the year in preparation for the concerts,” she said. 

“Students have also represented the dance school at several eisteddfods and dance competitions across the state, finishing with the Ararat Eisteddfod in September.

“The performances are sure to be great entertainment for audiences, with a variety of dance styles and music, and a wonderful array of costumes.”

People can buy tickets at Ararat Dance Centre and remaining tickets will be available at the door before each concert.
