The academy held its annual showcase recently at the Coronation Hall in Milton.
The show was inspired by The Lion King and featured a cast of 30.
Southern Dance Academy owner and head teacher Nicola Simpson said it was a fantastic show, and the performers and crew did an amazing job putting it together.
‘‘ Heart of a Lion was our biggest show to date and the set, costumes and performances are a reflection of how far we have come as a dance school.’’
She said the event was well-attended and received many wonderful comments from audience members.
She wished to thank the staff and students at SDA, volunteers, supporters and sponsors. REPORT: EVELYN THORN/PHOTO: SUPPLIED
