They ve spent the past four months rehearsing for Hawke s Bay annual Art Deco Festival, making its cancellation a bitter blow for The Encore Deco Dancers.
Organisers cancelled the festival, due to finish this Sunday, because of uncertainty over Covid alert levels.
The 50 dancers were booked to perform at 22 events. We started rehearsing in November, rehearsed all through the holidays during the days and weekends, choreographing the numbers, says Born to Move Dance Studio director Corinne Bowey.
