Last weekend, teachers and students at Parkes School of Dance Inc were thrilled to host guest teacher and Royal Academy of Dance examiner, Miss Sharyn Constable at their May Street Studio for a weekend of winter workshops.
The weekend workshops were proudly supported by Northparkes Mines and the Parkes Shire Council 2023 Sports Grant. Parkes School of Dance Inc is thrilled to be recognised by the arts and sport. Without their support, these workshops wouldn’t be such a huge success.
The two big days of ballet and dance workshops saw 24 dancers, between the ages of 18 months and adult, and three teachers, participate in coaching across 14 hours of dance workshops. Many dancers had their first experience of dancing, three hours of ballet across two days with a highly regarded guest teacher.
“Thank you so much for inviting me out to Parkes. It was such a joy to see, and finally meet everyone in person. Both the students and teachers were so delightful,” said Miss Sharyn.
“I look forward to a time when we might have the chance to do it all again.”
Parkes School of Dance students are in the midst of working towards their Royal Academy of Dance Ballet exams, coming up in early September.
“The opportunity to learn from different teachers does not happen often, let alone with a Royal Academy of Dance Examiner! Miss Sharyn inspired our dancers and teachers to think like ballerinas,”
Parkes School of Dance RAD teacher said, “Welcoming Miss Sharyn to our studio was such a wonderful experience for dancers of all ages and our teachers. As a teacher, I am always trying to find ways to improve my teaching. Miss Sharyn’s generosity of knowledge is invaluable!”
