Twenty-one local dancers enjoyed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity last week when famous Australian dance teacher Rebecca Davies visited the LaCreme Dance Academy in Nanango.
Rebecca is the inventor of the RADAR Technique, which transforms dancers’ techniques in a matter of minutes.
Dancers trained under Rebecca can be seen in every major musical currently playing in Australia, including Wicked, Legally Blonde, West Side Story and Dirty Dancing.
Her students have also been featured in the Australia dance classic movie Razzle Dazzle, the TV series Dance Academy, and have worked in productions with Opera Australia.
She has also trained company members of the Australian Ballet, the Bolshoi Ballet, the Royal Ballet, and the National Ballet of Canada.
In Nanango, the LaCreme students learned the secrets to pirouettes, kick turns, dance conditioning, jumps, leaps and dance tricks, and said they thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
Rebecca also enjoyed her day in Nanango, commenting on her own social media page “Thank you LaCreme Dance Academy for an awesome day. So much talent, strength and – wow! – you guys can fly. The best thing about visiting Australian country dance schools is that they have no idea how awesome they are!”
This workshop was funded by the Nanango Association for Dance community group.
This not-for-profit organisation fundraises to support and encourage the development of dance in the South Burnett’s communities.
“Without the community’s support for our group, opportunities like this would be unattainable for our region’s dancers,” Association for Dance spokesperson Jacqueline Campbell said.
