“I just want to say how proud I am of the girls!”
“This was one of the toughest comps I’ve been to. Each and every girl stood their ground and proved they deserved to be getting placed!”
“But not only that… they’re all individually super lovely great girls – I watched them all throughout the day supporting each other and looking out for each other. That is what the dance industry should be about.”
“To walk away with as many medals as we did is AMAZING! And that’s down to the hard work they all put in and their professionalism and determination.”
“But the main thing I walked away with was looking and realising what truly kind kids they all are!!”
