Sydney Dance Company Excursion

On Wednesday 2 April the Year 9/10 Dance elective class had the incredible opportunity to witness the powerful performance of Somos by Sydney Dance Company. The stunning production combined breathtaking choreography and exploration of Spanish culture and identity.

Students were able to participate in a Q & A session and OLM were invited to attend a backstage tour. It was also a privilege to reconnect with my former student, Luke Hayward, who was part of this wonderful production. Seeing his growth as a dancer and artist added a personal and special touch to the experience. Somos was very inspirational and a must-see for anyone who appreciates contemporary dance.
