RivADance Studio has hosted a number of debutante balls at the Rich River Golf Club in Moama across weekends in March, May and June.

Once a formal introduction into high society, the deb ball has evolved into a meaningful coming-of-age celebration for young people who choose to take part.

Collette Muschialla and Robyn Hayes from RivADance dedicated themselves to preparing more than 80 debutantes this year, guiding each young person through dance and etiquette ahead of their special day.

Ms Muschialla said the evenings were a wonderful success, with families, debutantes and their partners sharing in the celebration.

“It went exceptionally well – we have some lovely young people coming through,” she said.

The debs and their partners enjoying the June balls were captured by the team at John Travers Photography.
