In August last year Tiffanie Hughes was chosen by 'The Australian Ballet' to undertake 'Work Placement' offered to dancers with a promising career as a professional dancer. Tiffanie found out she had been offered the 'all expenses paid' opportunity in September last year and has consistently worked on her technique and strength to be ready to dance alongside the best dancers in Australia. This is a very exciting time for Tiffanie and the opportunity could not have gone to a more deserving person. She will absorb every minute of her time and naturally want to be at her best. Best wishes from everyone Tiffanie as you wing your way to Melbourne. Tiffanie has had a fantastic 18 months perfor

A belated thank you to everyone who sent messages, flowers and gifts in appreciation of our performance at Araluen, 'Shades of Broadway.' It is heartwarming to hear about your experience at Araluen watching the performance and hearing about our young performers and their experiences. It is a lot of work undertaken by so many people who have the best interests of our young performers, the audience and the community at heart. The children backstage were completely involved and brilliantly behaved performing at their very best. Very proud of everyone, congratulations to you all.
