The chorography was outstanding - your mind must be an interesting place... Pass on my thanks to all the helpers back stage. i could \'bark orders\' at them, many of whom I had never meet before, and these \'Magical Mummies\' would just \'jump to it\'. Finally a big \'pat on the back\' to all the Dancers. They showed degrees of professionalism and showmanship beyond their ages. Altogether it was just brillant and a pleasure to be involved with.

Show 2005 ...that was the first show my family have seen and we were soooooo blown away with how “professional” and “wow” everything was … it’s an amazing credit to you and I am so pleased Marissa is in your Academy as I know she is … Donna Stewart - Mum Emma is looking forward to ballet this term and we have enjoyed ballet
performances that Emma and friends have put together these holidays live in our living room!! It is great and I
have you to thank for inspiring Emma and creating a love for dance in her heart. The show was just wonderful,
we thoroughly enjoyed it and it is such a credit to you - awesome!! Thanks to you and the team's hard work on the success of a great show. It is highly appreciated for the skills and love for dancing that you pass on to the young dancers. Great show! Emelda Fransch-Jonathan - Parent The show was fabulous and I thoroughly enjoyed helping back stage.
Congratulations on a wonderful show. Phoebe is still talking about it! I personally would like to congratulate you on the fantastic time and effort you put into making such a special evening for us all, this is coming from a working mum who is not completely at home with having a daughter so in love with ballet after being so involved with my sons soccer! However this has completely changed after spending both Saturday and Sunday night in the audience watching the show and thoroughly enjoying it, Madison has also spent the last two weeks running around the house in her ballet shoes redoing her show numbers and trying to be like that gorgeous ballerina Helen! (You were an inspiration) You can guarantee we will be the first ones in line next year for show tickets. Belinda Furmenger - Mum Hey Mrs Rodgers, the show this year was so awesome it was thrilling
and so much fun for me. I had such a great time, thanks for putting together such a
great show - bye for now I would like to thank you and commend you on the show. It was excellent and thoroughly enjoyable. Monique Rudolph - Mum We saw the show last night and what an extravaganza!
From the fabulous music, costumes to the wonderful talented students we loved it all.
Thank you so much for giving my girls the taste of showbiz, they are buzzing albeit exhausted!!
What tremendous work went into producing such an amazing show you should be so proud of what
you have achieved. I must say the wee bumble bees really stole the show for us they were
just so gorgeous and very comic with out realising it!! Congratulations on another fabulous show. I think all parents should work backstage and then watch the performance. Only then can’t they truly appreciate the effort that goes into making the show come together. Thanks Helen Louise Cole - Mum Congratulations on a great show last night. The “trapeze” was just fantastic -
incredible the positions your dancers can get themselves into. We loved the littlies, they were so gorgeous!
We could really appreciate the hard work and care you give to your Academy. The attention to
detail in all the costumes was simply amazing. I am sure each stitch was sewn with love. I would just like to express my appreciation and admiration for the conduct of you and your show staff over the year’s showcase and the previous two years that I have worked with you. As you know I see many organisations pass through the theatre, and rhythm n Steps are easily the most professional group I deal with. The show, rehearsals and preparation are always tightly and efficiently run, and great fun. The quality of dance, especially from the senior students is always superb and every year I can count upon some truly “breathtaking” pieces - Salty Dog, Amadeus, Kiwiana and Elegant Clowns spring to mind! You can be proud to know that you always put on more than just a showcase, you produce a truly amazing dance show. Richard Greatrex - Lighting Technician Congratulations to the whole team for a great
show. We especially enjoyed the circus section. Thanks for the wonderful show - we all thoroughly enjoyed it. Christina Parker Helen, Derek et all, it was an amazing show, the Welcome Home segment was very
strong/emotional. I loved the behind scenes Saturday night. The children were buzzing with
excitement. Once again I am afraid to say the dads stole the show!! Can’t wait till next
years show - well done again for an awesome production. Lucy thought her “teacher” is a
fantastic ballet dancer! Lucy adores you … she wants to dance just like you! Congratulations for a yet again wonderful show. Thankyou for all your hard work, patience with the students throughout the year and of course to Derek for looking after the “in’s and out’s” of the show. Gabrielle (and us) enjoyed your beautiful dance. Hazel G - Mum As usual, the show was wonderful - you really did great guys Thank you for all your efforts in training the children. It was so impressive to see all the kids and Shanaiya perform. She just loves ballet. Audrey Saldanha - Mum Thank you so much for organising such a fabulous show last weekend. We were very
impressed with the whole thing - this was our first! Great show - well done and thank you again. Congratulations on another great show!! Thanks for being a wonderful teacher. Gail Bagayas WOW! I had such a good time at your incredible show and of course my children loved every
moment. On the first night the atmosphere front of house was electric and the build up music
was great my brush was going faster and faster as the anticipation built! Your crew of
invisible dog walkers and waistcoated ushers were so polished and friendly by the time the
lights went down and I moved into the foyer to pack up I knew I would be in for a treat the
next night! and goodness me I was right. I had a smile on my face the whole way through. The
professionalism of the dancers of all ages was outstanding, the music fabulous, the flow from
one item to another kept the pace beautifully and the costumes were mind blowing. I
always have a special interest in the scenery/backdrop/costumes and props as that is
my thing and I was so impressed and amazed time after time. Every item was so special but
particular favourites were the opening item, the New Zealand piece to Dave Dobbyns Welcome
Home, The Puppets, the Umbrella Hats the wonderful Bumble bees!! and of course the
blokes crew!! I also thought it was wonderful and so inspirational for all your students to
see you perform. It was a pleasure to be a tiny part of your
wonderful production I would love to attend future shows please let me know of them - Kind
Regards We had a wonderul weekend and Toni just loved being on stage. My husband and I thought the show was terriffic and so did the family and friends that came. You did a wonderful job - well done. Natasha Johns - Mum What can I say? Thank you form making us proud to be part of Rhythm n Steps.
Ours guests had a thoroughly enjoyable time. All the dances were beautiful. Please tell the
3 Blind Mice that if I ever need a smile I will think of them! It was SO good and will tickle
my funny bone. Nicole’s dance was very powerful and she managed to really touch my soul. I
wanted to jump up and go to her and comfort her! Laura’s dance made me homesick, but it
reminded me there are few thing as heart warming as a homecoming. We thought your dance
was lovely and it just confirmed for Dana and for us that Mrs Rodger CAN expect
excellence because she can show how to achieve it! Our Auntie, our dear friend who is a very
young seventy was astonished that the ballet teacher can actually dance!!
Last but not least - the Dads! What a treat! I particularly appreciated the finely crafted
costumes!! Just wanting to say how fantastic the show was this year. The costumes, lights, dances, students, everything was great. Kathryn Stanbury - Mum This years show was a treat!! It turned out fantastic, the dances were well put together
and great to dance. So a pat on the back to not only the dancers but all the side of stage
helpers, costume makers and most importantly you - Mrs Rodgers, you are an outstanding
teacher and all the work you’ve put in throughout the last 10 years has definitely showed.
Congrats on your 10 years of success. Thanks heaps. Dear Mrs. Rodgers, Thank you for being such a lovely teacher Love Shresha B - Student Thank you for all your effort that was put towards the show and congratulations We can not tell you how much we enjoyed Sunday Night. Helen, you are a very special and gifted lady, with amazing talent. We have been fortunate to see many shows in many countries, and Sunday’s show easily stacks up with the best of them. Stunning costumes, great lighting and sound. You have achieved an extremely high standard, which we appreciated. Veronica and David Stone - Guest Another stunning show!! Congratulations!I don’t know how you do it - but you do it
extremely well.I enjoy the show so much and it always sends me out on a “High”
Helen, your ballet solo was exquisite - the costume colour gorgeous under the lights,
The Men’s Ballet should become a National Treasure!! Thanks again for making the world a better
place to be in.
Thankyou very much for eight and a half years of wonderful teaching me to dance. I am looking forward to many more years with you! You have inspired me and I think you are a beautiful dancer! Thankyou very much for everything you have done for me so far, you are a wonderful person! Rock On!!!!!!! Fyne Barling - Student Many thanks for a delightful spectacle on Sunday Night.
I especially loved the Zebras, fairies and bees! Many good wishes for all your future
endeavours, they were all very beautiful and gorgeous little children. A joy to see.
Frankly, it was an outstanding success and your own performance was wonderful. Kevin Cooney - Guest Congratulations on the show, it really was
outstanding this year. Friends and family that came along to watch (who have been along to
watch over the previous years) also said that it was the best yet!
By the way, I was very impressed with the Performance this year. I loved it so much on Saturday that I went back again on Sunday. My little baby went both nights with me, and he thoroughly enjoyed the lights etc too. It was very entertaining, and my 3 year old loved the pre-show entertainment as well as the whole show. Thankyou very much for all your hard work. I’m sure everyone will agree that it was a fantastic production. Angela M - Mum Congratulations on a fantastic show and an inspiring performance by yourself. Well done to all of you, it was an amazing show. Well done to Helen and all the parents and other family members that put all their hard work in to producing such a great evening. Well in truly enjoyed the evening.
