Oh we love these kids 🥹🩷

Our gorgeous Senior Jazz dancers at our 20th Anniversary Legacy Showcase.

Dance classes are obviously about learning to dance (and these kids work HARD), but we love everything else that happens along the way too.

The friendships. The confidence. The ridiculous amount of laughing (ok focus! 👏 😆) Inviting new friends in. Learning to perform together, celebrate each other and take up a bit more space in the world.

And then getting onstage and doing THIS ✨

Very proud studio over here 🥹🩷

Does your dancer make up dances everywhere? 🔥

In the lounge room, their bedroom, at the studio, with their friends…

Tomorrow is the LAST DAY to enter our INSPIRE Choreography Competition!

INSPIRE is all about giving our dancers the chance to create something of their own, take it to the stage and share it with their friends in a fun, supportive competition.

And if their dance isn’t completely finished yet — that’s okay!

We’ll start the day with a choreography and technique workshop, giving everyone time to work through their ideas, develop their choreography and get ready to perform.

Then it’s competition time!

✨ Solos, duos & trios
✨ Awards on the day
✨ Black dancewear for all performers
✨ No need to cut music — we’ll fade it at 90 seconds, or dancers can nominate a fade point between 90 seconds and 2 minutes
✨ And an end-of-comp disco to finish the day!

It doesn’t need to be perfect. It just needs to be theirs.

If your dancer has been thinking about entering, this is their sign to give it a go. ❤️

ENTRIES CLOSE TOMORROW!

🩰 BIG BALLERINAS, LITTLE BALLERINAS 🩰

We love when our senior ballerinas pop in to visit our younger dancers 💕

How special for our little ballerinas to learn from and look up to dancers who have spent years building their technique, artistry and beautiful ballet discipline.

Our senior girls are such gorgeous role models, showing the next generation where all those pliés, pointed toes and hard work can lead 🩰✨

And we can’t wait to see our ballerinas in their beautiful new Studio Phoenix Dance ballet uniforms too, looking every bit the part alongside the senior dancers they look up to ☺️

One day, we’ll see these tiny dancers in pointe shoes being role models to little oohs and aaahhs from tiny dancers too! Pretty cool when you think about it.

The tradition of tap lives on✨

Our Senior Tappers brought a little old-school showbiz to LEGACY. A no music syncopated section on boxes, jumping off them, throwing canes and, of course, looking absolutely glamorous (and sounding that way too) ☺️

There’s something pretty special about seeing a new generation of dancers keeping the tradition of tap alive.

And these girls? An absolute joy 🖤

Senior Tap at LEGACY.
