It was an absolute arduous but pleasurable task for the cast and crew of Strictly Ballroom to stage such a demanding musical.

Our well attended shows gave our actors, singers and dancers a real opportunity to showcase their collective talents and skills to the wider school community. Thank you all for your support, it is very much appreciated and valued.

There are a number of individuals, organisations and businesses that must be recognised for their contribution to this year’s show. In no particular order the cast, crew and schools would very much like to acknowledge the following individuals.
