 | Eisteddfod: Dance Takes Centre Stage |
 A marathon of dance is soon to take centre stage at the Wynnum Manly Eisteddfod, with this years dance section scheduled for 27th April to 7th May 2007. For the 36th year in a row, local residents will be amazed by the impressive and diverse range of skills found in our youth of today.
For Event Convener, Gail Hanson, the greatest aspect of the Eisteddfod is the children.
“That’s why I do it. I love seeing them up there putting their heart and soul into it,” she said. “It’s a fantastic feeling, to be able to provide the opportunity for a dancer to perform in front of a live audience. That kind of experience is invaluable, even without winning, the self confidence you gain from such an experience is extremely rewarding, and something that helps you in all aspects of life.”
This year’s adjudicator for dance will be Penny Edler from Mooloolaba. Penny runs a company called Harleqin Art Management, teaching freelance dance and theatrics along the sunshine coast. An RAD (Royal Academy of Dance) registered teacher, Penny has previously run two dance studios over the past 17 years.
“Dance includes a wide range of styles, from classical ballet, Jazz and Tap, to Contemporary/Slow modern and song and dance, so it’s vital we have an adjudicator with an overall knowledge of the different genres,” said Ms Hanson, “what we look for is an ‘all rounder’ who’s done a bit of everything.”
Penny, with years of experience in different styles of dance and a wide repertoire of large, self choreographed and produced theatrical events, is sure to be a huge success.
Category age groups begin at 6 years and under with older competitors up to 15-20 year old. A special section for the ‘mature and motivated’ is also a popular event.
“We’ve had some fantastic entries into this category,” enthused Ms Hanson, “Last year we had a woman of 82 perform a tap dancing routine in a group of 75 to 80 years olds and they were terrific! Hopefully we can get them back this year!”
With new and improved sound equipment, due to a City Council grant received last year, the eisteddfod will be sounding better than ever ensuring first class entertainment at the amazingly low price of $3.50 entry. This is a fantastic way to support the young local talent of our area and everyone is encouraged to come along and enjoy this wonderful opportunity!
Ms Hanson is also looking for volunteers to help with the laying of the dance floor. High school students into performing arts and technical production looking for some hands on experience are encouraged, but anyone would be greatly appreciated. There’s also possible position’s for experience working with lighting and sound equipment. For more information phone Gail Hanson on 3396 3286 or 0417 615 099.

| Eisteddfod: Wynnum Manly Eisteddfod - Help Needed! |
Planning for the 2007 Wynnum Manly Eisteddfod is well on the way with the Dance section looking bigger than ever. Gail, organiser of the eisteddfod dance section said she has been very impressed with the amount of downloads of the schedule from the www.wynnummanly.com.au web site. “Things are going very well as far as organisation of the event is concerned. The only dilemma I can see is regarding the new floor. It needs to be cut to size and it is far too heavy for us girls to lug around. The floor will be delivered to the Leisure Centre and will have to be cut to size on location. We are after some strong volunteers maybe with some floor covering experience to come down and cut it to size for us,” Gail said.
If you think you could help out please contact Gail gail_hanson@email.com

| Eisteddfod: Wynnum Manly Eisteddfod, A Major Success! |
The 2006 Wynnum Manly Eisteddfod is well under way in its 35th year of showcasing a wide range of local talent. Covering art, dance, music and speech and drama, it is, “one of the longest running continual eisteddfods in Australia.” states events convener, Gail Hanson.
The ‘eisteddfod’ originated in Wales and began with choirs competing against each other. The idea then spread to Australia, first reaching Ballarat during the Gold Rushes. It was suggested by the many Welsh minors as a means of entertainment and to occupy the minds of the unruly.
Since then it has expanded to include other art genres, teaching discipline, performance skills/technique and most importantly creating a fun environment in which youth can demonstrate their talent and receive helpful feedback.
After a three day art display that began mid April, the Wynnum Manly Leisure Centre was cleared to make way for a marathon of dance, our current segment. Dance caters to all styles and ages, with classical ballet, tap, jazz, slow modern (contemporary and neo classical), song and dance and novelty, there is sure to be something for everyone to enjoy.
This year’s adjudicator for dance, Sue Harvey, comes from Hillcrest (Forrest Lake) and is a qualified dance teacher who used to compete here with her school in Springwood. Her glowing resume lists much experience in adjudication across many country eisteddfods.
This year the dance segment is bigger than ever with at least 10 or more hours up on last year. Part of this success is due to internet exposure.
People have come from as far as Gatten, Lismore and Buderim making use of Wynnum Manly's great range of accommodation.
This event has certainly proven its ability to draw crowds. With such an increase in participation, it is becoming more and more necessary for the development of a larger local venue, something the council should certainly look into as a worthwhile cause.
As a major event in our area it is important we support its continual success. Don’t miss out on witnessing some of the remaining dance, music and speech and drama that are about to take place, you’ll be surprised at the amount of talent that can squeeze into this space!
For further information you can contact Gail on, 3396 3286 or 0417 615 099. Wynnum Manly Eisteddfod Schedules and entry forms for next years eisteddfod will be available to download from www.wynnummanly.com.au site in November, so keep an eye out!

| Eisteddfod: Wynnum Manly Eisteddfod Thanks Ross Vasta MP |
Gail Hanson - Dance convenor for the Wynnum Manly Eisteddfod would like to thank Ross Vasta MP for giving up some of his Sunday to visit us at the Waterloo Bay Leisure Centre during the group long weekend 30th of April until the 2nd of May.
We discussed the need for a performing arts complex perhaps combining a museum and art gallery. He was surprised by the audience numbers and remarked that he didn't realize the enormity of the event. His sympathy was expressed to us about the venue being inadequate to cope with such large numbers of people said that we had his full support in our endeavours to have a suitable facility.
I would also like to thank Mr Vasta for the generous donation that enabled us to purchase some much needed trophies.

| Eisteddfod: Eisteddfod Dance Section |
The Wynnum Manly Eisteddfod Dance Section has just come to a close
Friday 29th April to Sunday 8th May. This years Dance Section saw 1000's of young performers from all over South East Queensland performing all forms of dance in 178 section including tap, ballet and jazz. This massive event brings 1000's of visitors to our area and is a fantastic opportunity for young performers to get experience and some professional critique. The Dance Eisteddfod could not have come together except for the super human effort put in by volunteers. Wynnum Manly On-Line would like to congratulate Mrs Gail Hanson Dance Convener on another great Eisteddfod. Gail says she was very happy with this years Eisteddfod with the only problem being the venue is far to small for the group dancing. Gail said the Wynnum Manly area desperately needs some sort of performing art centre. Many local dance school's have to take their performances out to Orminston or further to get a suitable venue at an affordable price.
