The recent SOSUNS dance concert so impressed Kuringai Mayor Elaine Malicki that she asked the Perfomance Dance Group to dance at a citizenship ceremony she was due to officiate at.
The dancers were very excited to perform in front of a big crowd in the Kuringai Council Chambers on such a serious occasion.
The Performance Group danced to ‘Shine’ and received a deafening ovation from their very appreciative audience. Mayor Elaine Malicki was so impressed by the positive feedback that she has recommended the group return to dance at future ceremonies!
