Hey everyone!

We've made it to Semester 2 of 2023. It Classes kick off this Wednesday at 7.320m in Ilam School Hall with Bring a Friend Night. That means that if you bring a friend who attended a class yet this year, you both get in or free!

UCanDance is invading Hanmer Springs on 29th July! Last day to sign up for the trip is 21st July. See the Facebook event for details.

You heard it here first.... We're holding an Anniversay Ball this year to celebrate 30 years of UCanDance. Keep an eye out for announcements.

The year will finish up with the annual chocolate giveaway and AGM. A little birdie told me that the AGM will include a free dance class. What kind of dance do you think it will be?
