International Dance Week  

Celebrating Dance across the College was such a great way to kick off Term 2.  Dance week at Pymble was dedicated to honouring dance and extending the celebration of International Dance Day to a week-long festival.

The aim was to increase and expand awareness of diversity in dance. With different activities each day including online dance tutorials integrated into all subjects and House Dance challenges, each student was involved.  

The weather may have changed things up slightly with our whole school Nutbush being moved to online live feed, but it did not stop the fun.  

Congratulations to Ashleigh Henderson (Year 12) – Dance Prefect, Dance Leaders and Dance Staff.  

Eisteddfod Dance Weekend – Saturday 4 May and Sunday 5 May

Our Eisteddfod dancers united to enjoy a big weekend of dance. This event marks the one-month countdown to the Eisteddfod Season, focusing on enhancing choreography knowledge, endurance, and backstage confidence. This year, our Intensive Weekend was the finish to our first ever International Dance Week celebrations, and we have a focus for the weekend based on the Pymble Dance Identity. 

The weekend featured purposefully designed workshops and insights tailored to the students’ needs. They participated in Choreography Sessions, a Pymble Dancer Brand Workshop, Stretch and Focus Flexibility classes, Ballet classes, an Introduction to Acro in Dance classes, a Captains Session, a Photography Session, and concluded with an informal performance for parents and friends. 

Additionally, for the first time, we held a Parent Gathering, a Q&A Session, and Backstage Tours, which were a huge hit and provided valuable insights into students’ backstage experience and addressing parent’s questions. 

Thank you to our wonderful dance staff, and we look forward to our Eisteddfod season.
