We've also held lion dance workshops for John Paul College II and Ausdance ACT for Dance Week and performed at half time at a basketball match for the Canberra Gunners! We were honoured to also perform in the forecourt of GIO Stadium as part of the NRL Multicultural Round for the Canberra Raiders.
Notable mention has been Harriet Bell who competed in her first tournament by entering forms in the first round of the National All Styles Tournament in Canberra and achieved a silver medal! We've also held 2 gradings and a supplementary and the results were as follows: Zoe Saarinen - Senior White Sash Dragon with Honours Nicky Morphett - Junior Yellow Sash Dragon Andy Lo - Junior Yellow Sash Lion Taha Abbasi - Junior Yellow Sash Lion Harriet Bell - Senior Yellow Sash Dragon with Honours Prajiet Eswaran - Senior Yellow Sash Lion with Honours Jesse Lo - Senior Blue Sash Lion with Honours Max Ai - Senior White Sash Lion with Honours Zach Harvey - Senior Yellow Sash Dragon with Honours Yulyana - Level 2 Black Sash After a very busy Lunar New Year performance schedule our classes for 2022 are in full swing with kids/teen classes at Radford College and adult/teen classes at the University of Canberra. We follow the Covid Safe Protocols of the MAIA with lots of hand sanitiser, alcohol wipes, anyone with symptoms staying at home, minimal sharing of equipment and training outside whenever possible.
it's not too late to join so don't hesitate - just follow your dreams! Come and meet a friendly group of positive active people and learn a new skill. First lesson is free and we are one of the most affordable martial arts schools in Canberra. It doesn't matter if you are not physically gifted - we will help you no matter how long it takes. If you have a background in music, dance or gymnastics you will love what we do and we will use your talents no question about that! |
