Wow… what a weekend at VIEW Whistler.

We’re incredibly honoured (and honestly still a little speechless) to share that VDA was awarded Top Studio, something our studio from little ol’ Kelowna has dreamed about for many seasons. Seeing that dream become reality feels pretty surreal.

And to top it off, our very first multi-level, multi-age hip hop line took home Showdown Champion. Watching dancers of different ages come together, trust each other, and create something so special was unforgettable.

These wins belong to so many people — our dedicated students, passionate teachers, creative choreographers, and the families who support it all behind the scenes. It truly takes a village, and this weekend was such a powerful reminder of that.

The trophies are exciting, but what made us most proud was watching our dancers step on stage with heart, grit, resilience, and genuine love for dance and one another. We set a goal and we reached it as a team.

Thank you to Hallie, Griffen and the entire View Crew for an incredible time in Whistler.

And thank you to our village… We’re so proud of you. ❤️🥹

Stay tuned for some clips of our top 10 routines that made this big W happen! 👀
