Pacific Dance Academy

Congratulations to the Pacific Dance Academy who competed in the Sunshine Coast Dance Eisteddfod recently and were awarded a Highly Commended and a 2nd place for their performances in the Senior contemporary/lyrical sections of the competition.

Our team, consisting of students from across year levels 7 to 12, performed exceptionally well having entered the senior groups sections, well above their collective age group. Furthermore, our humble team of nine competed against another 20 schools from around the Sunshine Coast, most of which have a much larger number of students on stage.

Regardless of the highly competitive context of the section, the Pacific Dance Academy represented the College with grace and expertise in the eisteddfod and are to be congratulated for their commitment and energy leading into the event. A special mention goes to the Year 12 leaders, Zoe Clewett and Nicola Hewitt, for their creative choreography of both pieces and their excellent coaching of the team throughout this year.

A wonderful achievement by the Pacific Dance Academy and an excellent start to the 2021 competitions for dance. Well done!
