RAPA Dance is proud to have recently held a highly successful show at the 'Hippodrome Theatre' in May 2022, our first show since 2018. Titled 'Dancing in the Wings,' the show showcased the unbelievable talent and hard work of our dancers. From our youngest RAPA berries to our talented adults, everyone delivered a professional performance. We are immensely proud of our dancers' achievements and can't wait for many more shows in the future.
Miss Emma Rapa, our Principal, expresses her gratitude to the teachers for their inspiring and beautiful choreography and shares her commitment to inclusivity, nurturing, and guiding young dancers to find their little sparkle. The success of the show is a testament to the dedication of the entire RAPA Dance family.
We are humbled by the support and love we receive from our students and their families.
