Kia ora. My name is Connor de Gier, and this is my story. I was born in Auckland and lived there until moving to the Coromandel in 2021. I am 17 years old and have now developed a love for nature and exploring anywhere my legs can take me. I only just started hiking and adventuring this year.
Last December, Luke Steele invited me to play the drums with him and his father, Rick Steele, at a pre-Christmas gig. Despite my initial concerns about not having at least one rehearsal, Luke assured me we’d be fine.
This year, En Pointe Dance Studio says goodbye to three of its stars – Courtney, Charli and Indaria. They’ve spent years growing, dancing and making lifelong memories here, but now it’s time for them to move on to new adventures. From tough rehearsals to amazing performances, these dancers have left their mark. And while they’re stepping off our stage, their stories are far from over.
