GAPA End of Term Presentation

GAPA celebrated it’s 5^th birthday in style, with an end of year presentation and prizegiving for their graduating students at the Hub. Joining the celebration was legendary retired British Ballerina Dame Beryl Grey, the Artistic Director of Scottish Ballet Christopher Hampson and former Royal Ballet Ballerina Alfreda Thorogood. The patrons and the proud parents  were treated to a presentation of dance, drama and musical theatre extracts from the classwork and examination syllabi that they have been working hard at all year. In addition, the winners of the recent GAPA Creates 2016! Competition performed their numbers. Additional highlights included a contemporary piece to David Bowie’s Life On Mars, an extract from Swan Lake Act 2 and a new Gershwin jazz ballet choreographed by Suzanne Gielgud, Ruth Armstrong and Michelle Walkhouse and performed to the live music played by the GAPA jazz band.
