RECENT ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCES

GOLD COAST, AUSTRALIA 2025

In April, our dancers travelled to the Gold Coast once again for another unforgettable dance adventure!
As part of TP World Dance Tours, our students proudly performed in the Dreamworld Parade and took to the Dreamworld Stage, sharing their talent with the crowds. This year's tour also included a special highlight, our first-ever participation in the Australian Dance Festival (ADF).
At ADF, dancers had the opportunity to take part in an incredible range of workshops, learning from renowned choreographers from across Australia and around the world. It was an inspiring experience full of growth, creativity, and connection.
We're so proud of our dancers for embracing every moment and making the most of this exciting opportunity!
