Melville Intermediate - CPA Group

CPA stands for Cultral Performance Arts. CPA is a dance like when I started CPA I had to do four Island dances, they were Cook Island, Samoa, Maori and another Island dance. I joined CPA because I wanted to know more about other cultures.

CPA is only for people that are really sure that they could think about dancing and always come to practice every Mondays and Thursday afterschool but sometimes Fridays as well.

In CPA if you have stuff thats important you can only have three excuses only if you have important stuff to do as to why you can't attend the practise. We have practices during the holiays as well.

CPA is a dance competition between other schools. It is a cultral dance. It is a dance to represent cultures from other countries around the world. There is a school trip later in the year to Australia to Sydney for competition.
