The event, open to public, starts at 6.30 pm and will see live performances by the graduating students aged five to 13 in front of their friends and families on a custom-built stage located in the lower court area of Lagoona Mall. To add to the festivities, Al Gheed Centre is offering new members a 15 percent discount on the total fees if they register that day.
“We enjoy the trust and support of our patrons and in a very short time have been able to connect with members of the Qatari community and provide them with a venue to hone their talent and develop new skills in an entertaining and creative environment. We are very proud of the achievements of our graduating class and look forward to the community enjoying their performance and applauding their hard work and commitment to the art form as they pursue their passion to dance and achieve their dreams,” commented Iqbal, director of Al Gheed Ballet Centre.
Eamon Kelly, General Manager of Lagoona Mall, said: “Our aim is to provide an environment that offers much more than shopping, making the exercise a fun and enjoyable experience for each member of the family. So while our adult patrons enjoy the wide selection of shopping and networking opportunities, our younger fans are engaged with activities that excite their passion and encourage their creativity. Al Gheed Centre, the first of its kind training academy inside a mall in Qatar that aims to provide dance and fitness enthusiasts of all ages with an opportunity to learn and train in a motivating environment.”
