🥹❤️ A PROUD DANCE TEACHER… A MOMENT I’LL NEVER FORGET! ❤️🖤

Not many tap teachers can say they’ve watched their students perform on an international stage, let alone students from regional NSW! WOW. Absolutely speechless! 🇦🇺🌍

Watching Maddi & Mia take to the stage alongside the cream of the crop from around the world at the 2026 IDO World Tap Championships was mind-blowing and surreal. 🥹👞

These girls work their BUTTS off! Endless hours in the studio, Zoom lessons with mentors, practising at home, taking corrections and pushing through the tough days - all while balancing school, friendships and teenage life!

I can hand on my heart say they represented TDF, Bathurst and Australia with pride. 🇦🇺❤️🖤 What a roller coaster and an experience we will cherish for the rest of our lives!

As a teacher, this has been one of the BIGGEST learning experiences of my career. Seeing the talent around the world has challenged and inspired me to keep learning, growing and pushing my own students. The international standard is INSANE! 🤯 I’m coming home feeling inspired, motivated and ready to keep growing!

❤️ TO OUR INCREDIBLE SUPPORTERS -THANK YOU!

To every family member, friend, sponsor, local business and person who donated, fundraised, shared a post, sent a message or cheered from home - THANK YOU! Your support helped make this dream a reality, and these girls have had an entire community behind them. We are forever grateful. 🥹❤️

Maddi & Mia, I hope you realise how proud you’ve made me. Thank you for trusting me and allowing me to be part of this incredible journey.

From my studio in Bathurst to the world stage. 🌍🇦🇺

Forever proud.
Miss Flick. ❤️🖤
