Dancers to star on elite stage

LISA Pellin Dancers students are taking their education to the next level, with two students of the Leongatha dance school accepted into elite dance training programs next year.
Morgan Mitchelson has been accepted into the Australian Ballet School Interstate Program. She will take classes with the Australian Ballet School throughout the year, alongside her classes with Lisa Pellin Dancers.
Morgan said she was looking forward to expanding her dance repertoire.
“I am really excited. It is a good opportunity for me to dance in different atmospheres,” she said.
“I am looking forward to learning new things from different teachers.”
Matilda Thorpe has also achieved major success after gaining entry into the Victorian College of the Arts Secondary School for 2016.
The school provides arts education at the highest level in the state. Matilda will move to Melbourne to pursue her full time study at the urban campus next year.
“It is going to be a big change for me moving home and moving dance studios,” she said.
“I am nervous but I am also very excited.”
Dance school principal Lisa Pellin said her programs offered students the chance to pursue dance careers.
“We are fortunate enough to offer two streams of dance training at Lisa Pellin Dancers,” Ms Pellin said.
“We offer classes for students who wish to further their dance education and we can prepare them for vocational training and audition processes.
“We also offer classes for students who do dance for fun after school.”
