From there, they go on to do a 20-minute performance at Disneyland and Universal Studios. They get to showcase their own dances and this is exciting for the girls as they have spent many hours rehearsing. In addition they participate in two workshops, one at Disney and one at The Edge dance studios.
Two PSOD dance troopes have been selected to perform at Disney with other participating dance schools from around the world; each dance troupe had to audition separately for this.
Ponsonby School of Dance teaches a range of dance styles with something for everyone to enjoy. They teach Royal Academy of Dance ballet, JazzAddict jazz, Urban Ignition hip hop and NZAMD contemporary.
