It was an absolute joy to be on the quick changes once again during show week at Hasland Dance Studios
And I had such mixed emotions to be saying goodbye and good luck to the dancers below as they move forwards into the next chapter of their lives. Most of whom were featured in the first two numbers I ever choreographed for Hasland... when they were little Primaries and Grade Ones... so proud of the people they hvae grown into💚💚💚!!
Wow… what a week! ✨
From our tiniest nursery dancers taking their very first steps on stage to our incredible advanced seniors, every single one of you danced your socks off. We couldn’t be prouder.
This was our biggest show to date:
💚Nearly 200 students
💚35 incredible routines
💚Many dancers performing in 5 or 6 numbers
💚Over 600 costumes
💚An audience of over 900 across the weekend
The commitment, hard work and dedication from our students has been nothing short of amazing, and watching every one of you shine on that stage made all the months of preparation worthwhile.
A huge thank you also goes to my incredible HDS team. As I said in my speech, you’re not just my colleagues, you’re my friends. Your passion, support and endless hard work make HDS what it is, and I simply couldn’t do it without you.
Thank you to everyone who came to support us and for all the lovely messages, kind words, cards and gifts we’ve received. They mean more than you know.
HDS has always been about so much more than dance. It’s a place where children can grow in confidence, build lifelong friendships, discover who they are, and always feel safe, supported and seen.
To every student, teacher, helper, backstage volunteer, costume maker, chaperone and every family who trusts us with their children… thank you. You are what makes HDS so incredibly special. 💚
Until next time… ✨
Love, Miss Ali 💚
