Our beautiful student, Noa, had her extra long hair cut today for World’s Greatest Shave to raise money for blood cancer. Help her reach her fundraising goal!
Can’t wait to see your new look next week Noa!

I'm making a hairy sacrifice and joining the World's Greatest Shave! Big or small, every donation counts to help beat blood cancer and I would love your support. You can help me make a difference by donating to my fundraising page.

As we farewell to 2025 we look back at our last few weeks of this year ….
Congratulations to Sienna for completing her Advanced 2 ballet exam, sharing her training between us, Ev & Bow and Compeat.
Our concert was a beautiful night of dancing along with fellowship and a celebration of God’s love for us.
We are so grateful to be invited to perform at the Engadine carols and at Connect Church as part of their morning service to use dance to spread the work of God.
We pray that 2026 brings much peace, joy and more beautiful dancing with our GPA family.
