Last evening my wife and I spent a wonderful time at the Royal Wanganui Opera House watching about 100 superb dancers from Sharyn Underwood Studios showcase some wonderful dancing. It was an amazing performance of grace, deportment, stamina and talent as over the entire performance I never saw a foot out of place. The choreography was outstanding.
Our sincere congratulations go to Sharyn for putting on that wonderful event for Whanganui to enjoy.
