By Mrs Maddie Grieger, Artistic Director of Co-curricular Dance

The 2024 RDA Showcase was held over three nights last week and featured dancers from Pre-Kindergarten to Year 12 in five different performances. This year's theme was Evolution, which represents how the RDA has continued to grow and evolve. With over 300 dancers, 600 costumes and 50 different routines, it was a mammoth task to put it all together, but it worth every second.

Despite a slight interruption by a fire alarm on the Friday night, all the shows went off superbly and were seen by over 1,200 audience members. The crowd was electric and gave our dancers so much energy on stage!

A big thank you to all the RDA staff for their help and dedication in putting this year's Showcase together. Thank you also to the RDA families who supported the shows and last but not least, thank you to our dancers, who were magnificent and worked so hard.

Congratulations to our main award winners for 2024:
