Dance

Tentative Dates:

Adjudicator: TBA

To streamline the school dance primary days changes have been implemented.

  • In the case of more than one day of performances, to avoid overcrowding in the auditorium, two days will be set aside for the Primary Dance Groups.
  • Each school will be timetabled on one of the days only – not both.
  • We intend to have each day completed by 1.30pm to provide certainty for buses returning children to school.
  • Please indicate estimated number in each group on the entry form.
  • For multiple entries enter under your schools name and label A, B, C etc. eg North Public School ‘A’.
