Our Mums were invited into class this week to share a class with their children. With preparation for exams happening we had great fun teaching our mums our exam exercises (especially hip sways) and watching them be fairy ballerinas.
Thank you mums for everything you do especially taking us to and from dancing, organising costumes, doing our buns and make up and supporting our dance dreams <3
Studio D students have been given another exciting opportunity to dance with the Victorian State Ballet.
Portia and Ava will be performing with the Victorian State Ballet next weekend performing a garland ballet dance in Le Corsaire.
We are very proud of our Studio D mini ballerinas!

I was thoroughly impressed with the standard of choreography our dancers performed on the weekend. It was very inspiring to see the creativity of our Studio D dancers and the way in which they executed their dances.
Congratulations too, to our special performances! It was wonderful to see what you have been working on in class and to see such great work so early in the year.
