Dancing in the street for top performing arts students A trio of New Plymouth Girls’ High School students are swapping their uniforms to study dance full-time at a prestigious Sydney school.

Wishing Ella Ace an absolutely fantastic experience this weekend at NYPA! She was awarded her PACANZ nomination at TFDA April Festival which gained her entry to this incredibly special event where she will compete against the best tap dancers in New Zealand. She has worked so incredibly diligently to reach her goals and is such a pleasure to teach. The WDS family are so proud of you and your passion and dedication to dance. You will be stunning Ella!
