✨ ANOTHER TNT THROWBACK… AND LOOK WHERE HE IS NOW! ✨

A few years ago, Miss Tarls had the opportunity to attend a workshop with the incredibly talented Taylor Diamond-Lord. We loved what he did so much that we later invited Taylor to TNT to run a workshop with our own dancers. I especially love the battle with our hip hop teacher at the time Miss Ebony. ❤️

Fast forward a few years and Taylor has certainly been busy!

Originally from New Zealand, Taylor’s dance career has taken him from teaching and choreographing around Australia, to becoming Head Street-Dance Choreographer for Masters of Choreography’s Beats on Pointe, performing and working internationally, and then landing an incredible opportunity as part of the cast of Magic Mike Live in London! 🇳🇿🇦🇺🇬🇧🔥

And this wasn’t just a quick overseas contract — Taylor has now been performing with Magic Mike Live for quite some time and is still part of the London cast today. The show itself recently celebrated an incredible 3,000 performances! 🤩

It’s pretty cool for us to look back at some of the amazing performers our TNT kids have had the opportunity to meet and learn from over the years and then watch where their careers have taken them.

Congratulations Taylor on everything you have achieved and continue to achieve. We absolutely love seeing you smash it on the other side of the world! ❤️

To our TNT dancers — the studio might be where your journey starts, but there’s no telling how far it can take you. ✨

We would really appreciate your help by signing the petition 😊

📣 WE NEED YOUR SIGNATURE! 💃🩰

For months, the dance community has been saying that while dance is technically included in the Play On! voucher program, in practice many dance studios still can’t accept the vouchers.

That means kids who choose dance can miss out on this support.

Alongside Jonty Bush MP and Jess Pugh MP, we brought together dancers, parents, advocates and dance studio owners to hear directly about these challenges and push for change.

Now, we’re taking the next step.

✍️ We’ve launched a community petition and we need your signature!

This is about equality of access. With families already feeling the pressure of the cost of living, every dollar counts. Families who choose dance should have the same opportunity to access support as families participating in other eligible sports and activities.

We’re calling on the Minister to make sure Play On! vouchers are genuinely accessible to dancers and dance studios.

💃🩰 Help us stand up for Queensland’s dance community and sign the petition today!

✨ HOW AMAZING IS THIS!! ✨

A massive congratulations to Sam Zaplin, who has been accepted to perform at the iconic Moulin Rouge in Paris! 🇫🇷❤️

Some of our long-time TNT families may remember Sam performing a special guest spot at one of our concerts a few years ago.

At the time, we invited Sam to perform because we really wanted to show our dancers — especially our boys — that boys can dance too, and just how far a love of dance can take you. 💙

A talented Gold Coast boy, Sam has gone on to achieve some pretty incredible things, including performing in the Gold Coast Commonwealth Games Closing Ceremony, being awarded a Royal Caribbean cruise contract, and now…

THE MOULIN ROUGE IN PARIS!! 🤩🇫🇷

What an absolutely incredible achievement and such an exciting next chapter for him.

It makes it even more special for us knowing that all those years ago our TNT kids got to watch Sam take that stage and see firsthand where talent, hard work and a passion for dance can lead.

A huge congratulations from everyone at TNT, Sam. We will definitely be cheering you on from back home! ❤️

Keep dreaming big, dancers — you never know where dance might take you. 💫

Back in 2019 our very first year of TNT our tap dancers did 9 to 5 and because we love that song and Dolly so much we just had to redo it as a hip hop/jazz in 2024 with our younger kids …
