Dance Information

Normandale is a semi-rural suburb of Lower Hutt City, New Zealand, on the western hills of the Hutt Valley. It consists of two main roads - Normandale Road and Miromiro Road - and the hills between, and is a five-minute drive from the Lower Hutt city centre.

The title of this dance nods to that of the well-known film, Sleepless In Seattle which was a huge box office success in 1993. It was an American romantic comedy film directed and co-written by Nora Ephron, based on a story by Jeff Arch starring Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan.
