What an incredible 4 days at Express Dance Challenge in Busselton ❤️
With over 100 routines entered and 15 troupe performances, our dancers took to the stage with courage, determination, passion and pride. For many, this was their first time performing in new sections, genres or categories, and wow, you were amazing!
While we are grateful for every award and achievement received throughout the weekend, what we are most proud of is the way our students supported one another, encouraged their teammates, and how our family community of parents and students came together to support every performer.
Watching our dancers step outside their comfort zones and grow in confidence will always be something truly special. 🥹
Behind every performance were long days, early mornings, late finishes and a whole lot of teamwork. Our students continued to give their all every time they stepped onto the stage, while our competition families navigated everything from costume changes to busy schedules. It was a huge weekend, but together we got through it with smiles.
