Maree works at Calrossy Anglican school splitting her time between both the Brisbane Street & William Cowper Campuses.
MAREE IS DANCING FOR A CANCER FREE FUTURE!
Maree has not been immune to the loss of family, friends, and colleagues to cancer and as she hits the fundraising campaign & dance floor it will be their faces and lives that motivate her to raise awareness & funds for the local Cancer Council services, cancer prevention programs, advocacy work and cancer research projects.
Maree is most looking forward to meeting new people, being challenged by the task of fundraising AND learning the dance routines, however, it’s not all work! There’s a lot of fun & play to be had before the big night all in the name of a very worthy cause.
My Updates
Week 13
Not long now til THE BIG NIGHT! so we had our second last dance practice and all-in for our opening and closing numbers! It's getting REAL!
Week 12
Back from school holidays last weekend and practice went well considering the absence from the dance floor! We got to do our routine in front of our peers and what a hoot that was! What an amazing, talented, awesome lot! I, we, got a glimpse of the fun night ahead!
Weeks 10 & 11
School holidays gave us the time for a practice session and I'd like to say I'm mastering the 'moves', however, I think you'd better check with Gary! :) Luckily we have a few more practice sessions before the big night!
Week 9
Week 8
Another great practice with Gary! I'm getting more confident with the routine but there's still a way to go!
Week 7
We all had a great session practicing our 'moves' this week and I'm SO blessed to have an awesome partner in Gary (Sinclair) - he & Kellie are patient and encouraging. 'Practice makes perfect'.
Week 6
This week's focus has been on getting the word out there for my main fundraising event-
Week 5
Another great week!
Week 4
There was even MORE hype & activity at TCDA - I just love the energy & enthusiasm!
Week 3
The 'Stars' are revving up with the dance moves and loads of fun was had by all!
Week 2
Well, I was SO thrilled to meet my dance partner - Gary (Sinclair) at Saturday's practice. I was relieved too that Gary knows his way around the dance floor! And with Kellie - dance instructor extraordinaire - I'm in very good hands and am grateful for both of them! Look out world... here I/ we come!Thank you to my Sponsors
