From pirouettes to funky hip hop moves, dancers got to showcase the results of their hard work at Gisborne Ballet Group’s annual competitions last weekend.
Talented dancers took the stage at the War Memorial Theatre hoping to impress the judge by demonstrating a combination of technical prowess and personality.
The Gisborne Ballet Group (GBG) weekend began its 70th year of competitions with an acknowledgement to former committee member, Pam Brown, who died last week.
“The committee asked that everyone simply dance from their heart to celebrate Pam’s life,” GBG co-vice-president Heidi Rice said.
The GBG competitions are unique in that they are for local dancers only.
