Tap Troupe
I will be using the Newsies routine from the 2023 show as the base for a tap troupe this year. Level 5 students or anyone more advanced may join the troupe, but must ask Chloe's permission first. This troupe will be put forward for NYPA nominations, to see if they can get to nationals in Palmy around Labour Weekend. You will therefore need to be a skilled performer, and dedicated/committed to the troupe to be a part of it.

Combined Advanced Jazz
For those that did either the Broadway or the Westside Story dance in the show. Your class will be a combined class this year, due to small numbers. You'll all sit FDS exams, rather than NZAMD - the younger ones will do Advanced 1 and the older ones Advanced 3. Many exercises are continuations, so it will be easy to teach together, and having both Chloe and Imogen teach the class means everyone will be able to learn what they need to know - we can separate out at times.
