This event would not be possible without the support and hard work of the following people, and we would like to extend our sincere thanks and appreciation to all our Heats and Finals adjudicators, class teachers and assistants for their time and expertise, and to the Towngate Theatre staff for welcoming us so warmly for our Finals.
A special thank you goes to our Modern Theatre Faculty Committee for their commitment, and dedication in all aspects of our Cram Awards and to Dansez for such generosity in all our winning vouchers for our dancer and teacher awards. Thank you to our faculty volunteers, front of house staff, backstage team, chaperones, and the CPD and Events team, for their hard work to deliver the heats and finals so smoothly and professionally. Lastly, thank you to each, and every competitor and teacher taking part in the Janet Cram Heats and Finals, and to parents, friends and family members who have supported throughout. Congratulations to all!
