Dance showcase at Mahurangi College

The public is invited to show its support and be entertained at what will be the area’s largest dance event at Mahurangi College this week.

More than 100 student dancers will showcase what they have learned this year in a range of styles, including hip hop, jazz, Latin and contemporary.

There will be solos, duos, trios and group performances. The show will include all students in the college’s dance classes as well as extra-curricular groups, including the Impulse dance group and the Momentum dance company.

Head of department Emily Woodfield says there will be plenty of talent and the audience can expect a professional performance.

Some of the dance groups are using the event to prepare for the Auckland regional inter-school competition, which will take place the following week.

Tickets are available from student services at the school at $5 for students and $10 for adults.

Show dates are Thursday and Friday, August 19 and 20 at 7pm, as well as Saturday, August 21 at 3pm.
