Congratulations, Heston Cone!

Today we celebrate not only your performance, but the courage it took to step onto the stage. As a neurodivergent student, performing requires Heston to overcome challenges that aren’t always visible to others, making this achievement even more special.

Through dedication, perseverance, and years of hard work, Heston has continued to push beyond his fears and achieve his goals. We are so proud of the resilience and determination he has shown in doing something he truly loves.

Well done, Heston β€” your CRDA family is incredibly proud of you! πŸ’•

I’d like to congratulate my incredible CRDA Troupe students on not only their outstanding results at the Coffs Harbour competition this weekend, but also on the work ethic, dedication, sportsmanship and friendship they show towards one another every single day.

Congratulations also to all of the dance studios who performed. The standard of competition was exceptional and truly equal to that of any major city competition.

Words cannot express how proud I am of these students. We work incredibly hard with only one troupe class per week, and as the sole teacher preparing all of this choreography and training, achievements like these are incredibly rewarding.

To see our dancers not only represent CRDA with excellence, but also represent the Clarence Valley with such professionalism, dedication and passion gives me enormous pride.

Thank you to our wonderful dance families for your continued support. Most importantly, congratulations to every troupe student. Your commitment to your training, your friendship towards one another and your love of dance are what make these achievements so special.πŸ’•

My dream was always to create a regional dance studio where country children could access quality dance training across a range of genres without having to leave home.

For nearly 38 years, that dream has been at the heart of CRDA.

Whether a student dreams of dancing professionally, teaching, performing, or simply enjoys the joy of dance, every child deserves the opportunity to learn in a supportive and encouraging environment.

At CRDA, we focus on strong technical foundations, performance opportunities, confidence, discipline, and a genuine love of dance. We are proud to have guided students from their very first class through to professional careers, while also nurturing countless young dancers who simply love being part of our dance family.

No matter where your dance journey leads, we are committed to helping every student become the very best version of themselves.
