Dance NZ Made

Talia Ellis —

In August our Academy teams and BHS soloists took on the Christchurch Regional DNZM Champs. It was a massive week with yet again, some impressive and outstanding outcomes.

ALL our students shined on stage, regardless of results, and stood out for their passion and commitment. We are just SO proud! 

Just a reminder that everything they accomplish in their extra curricular dance at school is all done on one lunchtime a week. It’s pretty phenomenal considering this limited time! And all solos and duets were proudly self choreographed by our BHS dance legends.

The results are as follows: 

YEAR 9 solos
Gold - Annabell Keith
Silver - Poppy Brown 

YEAR 10
Silver - Amelia Nicholls
Bronze - Rose Cudmore
