There will be a roar of local talent showcased this weekend as the Moree Academy of Dance takes to the stage for its annual concert, The Lioness.
From adorable tiny ballerinas, to breathtaking contemporary youth, the production promises to be a sensory delight, as Malika, the Lioness Queen played by Frances Litchfield, navigates the animal kingdom.
With the annual production making a return to the Moree War Memorial Hall, Moree Academy of Dance founder, Chelsie Assef, says she’s thrilled to be providing such an exciting opportunity to local families, and the community.
“Our students have worked so hard all year, and their concert is going to be incredible – there is so much talent in Moree, and seeing them all up on stage makes me so proud.”
Performances, will be held on Saturday, November 14 at 1.30pm and 4pm, with tickets currently on sale at Assefs.
Adult tickets are $12, and children twelve and under are $6.
The concert, which runs for an hour and a half, is open to the whole community, with Chelsie encourging locals to come and enjoy an afternoon of entertainment and dance.
From set design, to costumes, to sound, the work that goes on behind the scenes is significant, and Chelsie thanked all the volunteers for helping make the concert a reality.
“The stage is set and it looks magnificent, and we’re so excited to showcase the wonderful dancers who call Moree home.”
