My pooch - you made my Mom heart burst with pride this week! Apart from severally injuring yourself onstage during your performance and soldiering on - you reconstructed Haevn in an hour after Erin fell ill 😢
You are a light to me and our students and I love you very much! AGAB will not be the same without you next year 😭

And our week of dance wrapped up with an amazing workshop presented by Brigitte Reeve-Taylor, introducing the dancers to Horton technique 💪🏼
What an inspiring week of learning and growth 👏🏼⭐️

What a way to end off our week at Nelson Mandela Bay Dance Festival! Asha North was awarded 13&14 Age division WINNER for Ballet and National!!! Well done AshPash 👏🏼
⭐️ Thank to the organisers and all involved for a wonderful week of dance 🫶🏼

Thank you Channae Erens for organising our tour of the Nelson Mandela Bay Theatre complex today!! Girls loved it!!

Day 3 of Nelson Mandela Bay Dance Festival was a happy and successful one 🫶🏼
Tarantella solos, Pas de Fleur quartet and our Senior Ballet group Haevn.
Sadly Erin developed a debilitating migraine an hour before the evening session and couldn’t perform in Pas de Fleur or Haevn. 😢
A massive well done to Hannah for jumping in to Pas de Fleur - who received GOLD 88% ⭐️ and a HUGE thank you to Leah for sorting out Haevn at the BnB while I was at the Theatre! Haevn received GOLD 89% despite a group of 11 dancers becoming a group of 10 and lots of canon timing changed - they coped like the stars they are 😬 I’m so proud of how well they worked as a team and pulled it off

Well done girls 🫶🏼
