“We welcome the opportunity to collaborate with other similar groups to fully utilise the facility.”
Mrs Ryan has been teaching dance in Horsham for 42 years, originally as Miss Louise School of Dancing teaching tap and jazz, before introducing lyrical classes.
“This year is the first year we have offered hip hop to students,” Mrs Ryan said.
“In all my time of teaching, I have been a member with the Australian Academy of Dancing.
“Our tap students sit examinations each year with the academy, performing set dance routines in front of an examiner, who travels from Melbourne.”
Students also perform for the public at an annual concert, after learning dance skills and routines with Mrs Ryan or the school’s other instructors – Kim Adams, Amy Anselmi, Sophie Koschmann and Jessica Grimble.
“We will be presenting our 42nd concert at the Horsham Town Hall on Sunday,” Mrs Ryan said.
“Our students from the ages of five years to adult will be performing routines in full costume in tap, jazz, lyrical and hip hop.
“Students and instructors have spent many hours over the past months preparing for the concert.
“Performing at the Horsham Town Hall gives our students the opportunity to dance in an amazing venue with the latest techniques in sound and lighting.”
Mrs Ryan said tickets were available on the Horsham Town Hall website or at the box office.
“We are renowned for our commitment to extending and challenging our students with the latest in dancing techniques in a fun and encouraging environment,” she said.
Avenue Dance Studio will be taking more enrolments after the concert, more information is available on the Facebook page.
