Youth in Performing Arts Concert @ Laycock Theatre.

Saturday, June 5th, 2010

Congratulations to the Lee Academy Dancers who were selected to perform in this years Youth in Performing Arts Concerts! The annual Youth In Performing Arts, or “YIPA” concerts are a series of concerts that are run by Gosford Shire Council to showcase young talent on the Central Coast.
Performers are required to audition and 2010 saw over 400 acts try out for the 168 available positions. Lee Academy has many acts & students in the event. YIPA Coordinator Chris Cox said “This year saw a vast number of quality performers and the strongest level of competition for positions we had seen for a very long time.” making it one of the toughest years of competition they had seen in the show’s history.

Last Tuesday was a really fun night with our beautiful acro routine performing = of course the crowd went wild over it & many people had not seen anything like it before.

It was so much fun & our students were all exceptional.
A special thank you to Miss Danni, Miss Katie, Miss Jacqui & Cara for helping out so much with the junior students.

Acro routine in action!

Lee Academy wows the audience.
