Dance
Dance is an integral part of the LEPS PDHPE program and is offered to students from Kindergarten to Year 6.
Dance ensembles operate for students in Year 1 and above and are offered the opportunity to try out for our Senior, Years 3/4, Years 1/2 and NSW School's Spectacular Dance Troupe. All four dance troupes will perform at the bi-annual LEPS Spectacular. The troupes will either audition for the Ryde School's Spectacular, North Sydney Dance Festival or NSW School's Spectacular.
