💫 Rotorua Youth Talent Quest 💫

🏆 Rotorua HipHop Rangatahi Crew - 1st Place - Large Group Catergory 🏆

So many talented young people took the stage tonight and the level of talent was honestly inspiring 😍 But standing there watching OUR rangatahi - the ones I’ve shared endless laughs with, emotional moments with, stressful rehearsals with, sweaty practises, tears, sore bodies, little scraps, bruises and battles along the way was something I will carry with me forever 💯🤍

People only see the performance but they don’t always see the journey behind it 🥹 The long nights, the self-doubt, the discipline, the commitment, the sacrifices, the growth, the moments of wanting to give up but continuing anyway 🤍 Watching these rangatahi rise above all of that and leave everything on that stage made me unbelievably proud 🖤

This group is more than dance to me 💯 It’s whānau 🫶 It’s belonging 💫 It’s healing ✨ It’s confidence 😊 It’s creating a safe space where our young people can be fully themselves, be uplifted, supported and reminded of how powerful they truly are 🤍

To my rangatahi - thank you for trusting me, growing with me and allowing me to walk alongside you all on this journey ♥️ You represented not only yourselves, but your families, our kaupapa and our entire HipHop whānau with mana tonight 🤍 No matter where life takes you, never forget the magic you carry within yourselves 🖤

1st place is amazing… but the real win will always be the love, connection and memories we continue to build together 🫶🏽✨

Massive thank you to our team from Linton Park Community Centre for providing all the kai, support and extra practise times 🤍

Kaitao Intermediate staff and students for encouraging and supporting all their students both current and former in all that we do both in kura and the community 💙

Rotorua youth council, Rotorua Lakes Council, and Sir Howard Morrison Centre Team thank you and the amazing sponsors and organisers that put this event together, THANK YOU FOR CREATING OPPORTUNITIES LIKE THIS FOR OUR YOUTH (maybe the bigger theatre next year 😉 I promise you’ll have a full house 🫶)
