It was that time of year again when MISA trials were held to select representatives for our MISA Dance Team. MISA Dance has always had an enormous amount of interest and this year was like no other.

On 12th February we saw an enthusiastic group of 82 students, both male and female, turn up and trial on the day. With the help of ex-student Lacey Boss (Year 12 2018), the students were taken through a warm-up, technique consisting of turns, jumps and leaps and a Jazz style combination.

The students worked hard and definitely made the decision harder than imagined and callbacks were held on the 15th of February. Students ranged in various styles of Jazz, Hip Hop, Lyrical, Acrobatics and Cheerleading. All those who auditioned are commended on their efforts.

Due to the constraints on numbers I had to cut 82 students down to 34. It was a hard decision but I want to congratulate both the successful dancers and everyone who took the time to trial and anyone who stepped out of their comfort zone or decided to try something different.

The MISA Dance team will be performing at various events throughout Terms 1 and 2, starting off with our Open Afternoon on 4th March. Be sure to catch them at Magdalene Shines and the Annual MISA Dance Showcase held at The Cube during Term 2.

I am looking forward to working with such a talented bunch of Dancers at our College this year.
