21.01.2022 BlueScope WIN Wollongong Eisteddfod Today we've reached the halfway point with our featured performers so we're doing something a little different and we'd like to introduce you to Abby Adlington. Abby thought that since she has and still does participate in so many disciplines at the Eisteddfod; Speech & Drama, Dance and Music that she would use this time to relate her experiences with our event. #Speechanddrama #Dance #Music #ClassicalGuitarist #BassGuitarist #performingarts #savethearts #AbbyAdlington #LiesaAdlington Acting Up Drama Academy Dance World Wollongong Erin Bubb #BlueScopeWINCommunityPartners

21.01.2022 Stunning performance by this group.

19.01.2022 BlueScope WIN Wollongong Eisteddfod Tonight would have been our last night at the Illawarra Performing Arts Centre (IPAC) for our dance scholarships and presentations. Just for something a little different we'd like to introduce you to one our longest attending studios. Kazzajazz Modern Dance Studio has been attending our event for the last 29 years and Principal Karen Lees (nee Moore) was a performer herself back in the 1970's. Karen is sharing her thoughts about us and then... her open Broadway Jazz troupe will be performing a routine for you, "On Broadway", that they danced in December 2019 on the IPAC stage. The Moore family were volunteers and continue to sponsor the Eisteddfod, with the Moore Trophy standing as a reminder to Karen's family. Supporting the Eisteddfod is a tradition for Kazzajazz families, like dance teacher Alana Hyde whose mother also competed in the 1950's and then volunteered as well. We hope you enjoy the final troupe performance of what should have been the 126th Eisteddfod. #dance #BroadwayJazz #troupedancing #performingarts #savethearts #KazzajazzModernDanceStudio #KarenLees #OnBroadway #AlanaHyde #BlueScopeWINCommunityPartners #BlueScopeWINWollongongEisteddfod See more

08.01.2022 BlueScope WIN Wollongong Eisteddfod A different kind of 'morning after' feeling today since the Eisteddfod would have finished last night. The stages and theatres are silent at the Illawarra Performing Arts Centre (IPAC) as we are left to ponder what might have been. Our final performance comes to you from Ben Jancetic, who sings with Nella Magnante and dances at The Dance Affinity. Ben will be performing for you, "Neverland", and the lyrics we hope have some special meaning ...for you today. Ben is accompanied by the lovely and very accomplished Lisa Baraldi, a staunch supporter of the Eisteddfod who has accompanied so many performers over the years. We hope you enjoy this last song of the 2020 Eisteddfod season from studios and homes. #boysoprano #songanddance #boysdancetoo #performingarts #savethearts #TheDanceAffinity #NellaMagnante #Neverland #TeaganHuntsdale #LisaBaraldi #BenJancetic #JennyJancetic #BlueScopeWINCommunityPartners #BlueScopeWINWollongongEisteddfod See more
