6 months of travel and fun! ✨The North Walls Primary School (Hoy) project has now come to an end. Over the months, we explored the vibrant worlds of Bollywood and Indian classical dance. The participants took true ownership of the project—choosing the music, helping create lifts and towers, and making countless memories along the way.To round off this incredible journey, we finished the project with a wonderful showcase for the parents and families of the participants. Seeing the dancers share their hard work and joy with their loved ones was the perfect finale.Stef is incredibly honoured to have had the opportunity to work with these wonderful young people. This marks our third consecutive year collaborating with the school, and it truly is a special partnership that we cherish deeply. Thank you to everyone who made this journey so memorable! 🌟

U.Dance rehearsals are officially underway! ✨We completed a fantastic full run-through last night. With Jen taking a brief rest on the side and Phebe newly returned from her holiday, it felt incredibly special to be back in the studio dancing together.Sharing the space with these three remarkable seniors is a truly humbling and transformative experience. Watching them grow from young students into accomplished, inspiring young adults is an absolute privilege.In this frame, Josie is closest to the camera, and I am furthest away. I have known one of these wonderful students her entire life, teaching her for 14 years. She has been by our side through every major milestone—from personal chapters like my pregnancies, to our business journey growing from humble beginnings to winning national awards.Thank you to these incredible young people for their dedication, kindness, and unwavering loyalty. 🩰❤️
