⭐️Giving thanks to the most incredible Senior Cohort - THE GOAT

I have no words to describe these teams! As groups the cohesiveness is unsurpassed, the passion is blinding and individual personal bests are being smashed every week and every performance!

These enormous production pieces truly came to life on the weekend, again to packed theatres these young artists seriously brought the goods! Reflecting on the day I am overwhelmed with pride and gratitude to get to head the most wonderful young people but to also collaborate weekly with some of the very best faculty around, and share all of it with families that fill my heart with joy, you are all a blessing and today Flashdance gives thanks to you all!

Congratulations to all the incredible hardworking talent on the stage at Jump Dance Challenge on the weekend! Melbourne dance is looking incredible and it was an honour to share the stage with you all!
