MARCH 2000 : BENONI IRISH DANCING COMPETITION
Christopher at 6 years old was happy to take Irish dancing lessons having seen it performed in Riverdance. Soon after starting lessons, his teacher said that he should enter the dancing competition at the Benoni High School. He competed willingly and won the novice section!
Taking of videos was not allowed but thanks to Pete Beart (who always breaks the rules), we have this record of the event.

OCTOBER 2010 : GREASE – MUSICAL CHOREOGRAPHY
Grade 10 Drama organised a fundraising Supper Club with live acts for entertainment. They performed a musical choreography using music from Grease.

After a while, Chris and Quintus appeared on stage and ad libbed to try and cover for the glitch. This is the video of the act when it restarted.
