Anzac Remembrance Centenary Ball 📀 DVD April 2015

Our club produced a professional video of our 2015 Anzac Remembrance Centenary Ball. Members who attended received a complementary DVD, and our club was proud to donate $500 to Legacy and $500 to Soldier On Australia.

Lest We Forget! 

Our 2015 Anzac Remembrance Centenary Ball was held on Sunday the 26th April 2015.

The ball started at 6pm, followed at 7pm with our remembrance service that concluded with a minutes silence, and screening of “The Spirit of the Anzacs” music video.

After a delightful meal enjoyed by all, the raffle tickets were drawn and the Anzac Centenary Foxtrot was presented by the dance choreographers, John Batterham and Loreen DiSipio Batterham, accompanied by our teachers Alan and Lynelle Armitage.

This was a rare opportunity to see the choreographers demonstrating exactly how they envisaged their dance to be performed. Anzac Centenary foxtrot has been a very good addition to our repertoire, as it is the only dance we do which features a Tumble Turn.
