Preparation for EOYC – Sewing / Working Bees
We are holding our Sewing Bees in the lead up to the concert on 19, 26 and 31 October and 2 November. Even if you can’t sew, we have plenty of jobs that involve creating, glueing, tidying and organising. It’s a great way to catch up with other Dance parents so come along for a chat.
