Dancing into 2024

Join us on Friday 2nd February for our first meeting of 2024. We will hear about the events planned for the year ahead and be treated to an oral history video presentation of Redcliffe legend, Sharon Alback.

Sharon Alback is the principal of Sharon Alback Dance Centre and has been teaching dance in Redcliffe since 1954. Sharon’s mother, a dance pianist and Sylvia Curry started the Sylvena School of Dancing (now Sharon Alback Dance Centre) in 1952, and in 1957 Sharon, who had been teaching at the school took over. Since then she has taught dance to generations of dancers on the peninsula.

Come along on Friday and hear Sharon’s story, meet new friends and old and have a cuppa with us!

Ballet or tap shoes optional.
