I am feeling so extremely proud of what we have all achieved for 2025!

You’ve all worked so hard to put these dances together and most of them we have done in just one term!
Your perseverance has really paid off . Thankyou for working so hard with us teachers to help create these amazing dance routines together. We have had a lot of fun too celebrating the big and small wins along the way 💫

Thankyou to the incredible team at MDE . My staff, Ashlyn, Ella, Bonnie, Tamara, Sandra, Tiffany and Ebony- you all bring something unique and I thank you from the bottom of my heart!
Our Assistants- Lindsey, Lucy, Roxy, Jessica, Nat, April & Meg- I’m so grateful for everything you have helped with!
Our crew - Jo, Mikki, Kevin, Lois, Bev, Brenda, Mark and The Lighthouse Theatre…you all help take our show the next level!
The parents and student helpers- you all play such a massive role backstage and we couldn’t do this without you!

Thankyou all so very much!

Wishing you all a wonderful silly season and a fantastic 2026!💫
