KPSD NEWS

Our dancers love appearing in local community events and we've even been dancing in the streets this summer.

So far we've danced at the Upper Hopton Village Fete, Battyeford School and Roberttown Pre-School Summer Fairs, the Wellhouse Moravian Church and Mirfield Arts Festival Carnival Parade, which was great fun!

Catch us next dancing in the main arena at the Mirfield Show on Sunday August 19th.
