DANCE CLUB

DANCE CLUB We are thrilled to present this report highlighting all our achievements of the year. It was an incredible journey that included hard work and dedication of which we are immensely proud. We danced with fire, inspired the crowds and hoisted our colours high. Every beat echoed our pride, passion and unbreakable sisterhood. Our team gave everything – precision, power and heart. The 4G stage became ours and we embodied the spirit of our school. The Dance Club participated in the Paarl Valley Eisteddfod for the first time and received a Gold+ in the Hip-Hop category. This achievement highlighted the passion and talent that every dancer in the club showcased in 2025. We were also fortunate to participate in the school’s musical, Beauty and the Beast . All the dancers worked tirelessly to perfect their choreography alongside the talented choreographer, Natasha Hess. The musical was not only an enormous success, but a wonderful opportunity for the members of the club to be challenged by incorporating different dance styles in their repertoires. Through these experiences, the Dance Club demonstrated exceptional teamwork, talent and school spirit. Lee-Zaandré Wanza & Michelle Johnson

These results highlight not only the academic strength of our learners but also their passion for literature and critical thinking. Mrs Cindy MCFarlane
