Troupes dance in festival

Two dance troupes from Ettalong Public School were accepted for the Central Coast Dance Festival last week.

The Year 6 troupe and All Boys troupe will perform in the festival at Laycock St Theatre on Friday, June 15, and Tuesday, June 19.

Deputy principal and performing arts coordinator Ms Karen Morrow said she was extremely proud of all of the troupes that auditioned.

"The judges spoke highly of all our troupes," said Ms Morrow.

"We have been very fortunate in that two of our troupes have been accepted."

The school joined other Peninsula schools at Woy Woy Public School last month for auditions into the festival.

According to festival judges, there has been an overwhelming response in applications from schools across the Central Coast, including the Peninsula area.

Ms Morrow said she looks forward to continuing on with all four dance troupes at the school.

"Now that hard work begins to polish and costume our fabulous troupes".
