Hansel and Gretel Success
On Saturday 30 August, our Pymble Dance students premiered their ballet Hansel and Gretel with wonderful success. The performance was a true celebration of our community, with students showing not only artistry and professionalism on stage but also genuine support and encouragement for one another across all year groups.
A special congratulations to our lead ballerinas, Stella Pieterse (Year 8) who played Hansel and Millie Tian (Year 7) who played Gretel, whose maturity and expressive performances brought the story beautifully to life.
We are also deeply grateful to Tonya Grelis and her dedicated team, who created this production from the ground up. Their imaginative direction, lighting, and stage design gave our students the opportunity to experience performing in a magical, professional-quality production.
A big thank you also goes to our wonderful staff, who supported and prepared the students with such care, helping them feel confident and excited to step onto the stage. Thank you to all the families, friends and staff who came along to cheer on our dancers. Your support means so much to our students and made the day a truly memorable occasion for everyone involved

Both our Jazz and Contemporary White groups delivered exceptional performances, each placing first in their sections. This is a wonderful recognition of the dancers’ hard work, teamwork and passion. What a proud moment for Pymble Dance.
