What a fantastic night at St Mary's Anglican Girls' School last night for the interhouse dance competition!

It was a pleasure to adjudicate alongside Megan Cullen and it was really incredible to see the creativity expand across all houses from last year to this year.

Thank you to Jenna for having me again, it truly is one of my favourite events that I look forward to each year ❤️

Ps: Nala and I loved the gorgeous flowers 😻

Growing up dancing in Perth, poaching was never something that was never done. If you moved to a new studio, you did it of your own thought and action and with honesty and gratefulness for the previous studio.

As an educator who then taught at many studios throughout Perth for many years, poaching was never a thought that crossed my mind. I always supported students' and families decisions within their movements and never thought to push their choices one way or another.

To see some studio owners openly approaching competitors at competitions and eisteddfods and offering scholarships to move away from their current home studios to theirs is a disgusting and low act, especially in as small a community as Perth is. Everyone knows everyone, people talk and word gets around.

Is calling it out enough? Should these studios be banned from entering competitions so as to discourage the poaching and keep our performers safe? Having students in a position where they are contacted by an adult in a position of power is unsafe as it is. Where do we draw the line?
