“…..you are going to see incredibly talented kids on stage, you are going to see originality and an expression of confidence. [Wakakirri] is a unique experience. I’ve never seen it anywhere else and being an actor myself, it takes me back to my youth when I was full of that kind of enthusiasm. I think it’s fantastic!” Andrew McFarlane
Originally established in 1992, the Wakakirri Story Dance Challenge hosts shows around Australia where schools perform to a live audience of family, friends, industry professionals and other school communities.
Performing in Wakakirri is an experience students never forget. Participants spend show day rehearsing and meeting other schools, and in the evening they walk the red carpet with the Wakakirri Panel and perform on the big stage.
