A Somerset dancers' group routine had their final competition on Saturday in Brisbane at KAR , an American competition which toured Australia. Not only did the troupe win Elite Top First in their division, they received a Judges' Choice award, as well as the highest scoring rising star group aged 15 to 19.
They also won an invitation to attend the Hollywood Dance Invitational, an invitational dance experience run in Hollywood!
To top it all off, they actually won the highest scoring group routine in the entire competition, which means they are one of a select few in Australia selected to go in the running for a paid trip to compete at nationals in America! This is now chosen purely on the number of online votes they receive.
We will post details for online voting when they become available. It would be fabulous to get the College community voting to make this opportunity a possibility!

The concrete may never set at Somerset College but in the case of The Suzanne Roberts Centre for Performing Arts (‘Rob’ for short – it might catch on?) and the new Design Centre, I hope it is now rock hard, as we enter the finishing stages! Indeed, the ‘Rob’ will have passed practical completion this week and already the site fences are down to reveal an amazing new foyer inside the main gates of the College.
Crowds gathered in anticipation to witness Andrews on a mission to Mars, Franklin embrace western accents in a pun-filled melodrama, Laver transporting us into the wild happenings in a Parisian backstreet, Starkey plunging into the world of Greek Mythology and Veivers, seeking our help to solve the mystery of the great PA Poltergeist. The House Plays Festival was held at the Robina Community Centre this year, on Thursday 7 March at 6.00pm.
