So lovely to see our GAD students having so much fun performing in both the Moe and Sale Dance Eisteddfods over the school holidays! A huge congratulations to all our students who lit up the stages over the break. You have made us so proud!

It was also very special for GAD to be awarded the ‘Overall Solo/Duo/Trio Aggregate’ at the Moe Dance Eisteddfod. Wonderful recognition of the hard work of our dedicated dancers and teachers 💗💗

A big thank you to the eisteddfod committees and volunteers for providing these great opportunities for our students to perform! An extra special thanks to our Moe eisteddfod GAD committee representatives for all your great work.

Pretty special as a business owner when you turn up to an eisteddfod and hear that families from your dance school have gone out of their way to help out a student from another school missing a costume.

To hear that multiple GAD families were running around and heading home to find something for the student to wear so they didn’t miss out really warms my heart.

This really is what Eisteddfods are all about ❤️❤️ Supporting each other and sharing our passion for dance!

Such lovely feedback to receive!

What an amazing time our students had over the school holidays performing at the Morwell Festival Of Dance!
Our school performed beautifully with many of our solo students and troupe groups winning prizes. Our school was proud to receive the overall aggregate awards for both the ‘troupe’ and ‘solo/duo’ categories. These awards are a credit to our hard working students and teachers.

A big thanks to all our GAD families for their support and encouragement over the 10 day event. Our school was proudly represented both on and off the stage and it was lovely to receive such great feedback from others about GAD and our performances.

Many of our students also won major aggregate awards and championship/scholarship placings which is an incredible achievement.

Congratulations to everyone and we look forward to working with you all again in term 3. ✨✨
