Some years ago, a group of women met when their daughters were dancing with Deneze School of Dance. During that time they danced together, organised shows together, and – along with their children – became close-knit friends. The children grew up, the dancing slowed and the shows were no more; but the bond remained strong.
In 2003, an amazing woman, mother, daughter and friend, lost her lengthy battle with cancer. Barb showed, through her strength and passion for living, the importance of embracing and acknowledging life – each stage of it – and the corresponding challenges of those stages.
Inspired by the memory of their dear friend Barb, this group of enthusiastic and talented women, led by Helen Lees, the founder and creator of the Tarnished Frocks and Divas show and concept, and all with strong backgrounds in the arts, joined together to put on a show to celebrate and showcase women’s talents and the passion for life.
They didn’t stop there. Now, many years and shows later, with over a thousand people touching the fabric of the show, all leaving their mark in some way, it has evolved into a wonderful extravaganza, that we can all be proud of.
