    ACT III

    Teachers

    Four teachers who each run their own classes from first lesson to concert night.

    • Coralie Vance

      Ballet · Contemporary

      Toured in musical theatre before trading the stage for the studio floor. Ask about pointe shoes and she'll talk for an hour.

    • Dev Anand

      Hip hop

      Came up through Adelaide's street-dance jams and runs the most talked-about warm-up in the building.

    • Tilly Okafor

      Jazz · Musical theatre

      Choreographs the concert opener every year and knows every word to every musical ever staged.

    • Sam Reyes

      Tap · Adult classes

      Teaches tap with a metronome, a good sense of humour and very loud shoes.

    ACT IV

    The concert

    The whole year builds to one night — well, two shows. Every enrolled student performs, no auditions.

    End-of-year concert
