I wanted to say THANK YOU! From the bottom of my heart for an amazing and positive experience for our dancers. From the venue, the change space, an amazing rehearsal space, the teacher room, the staff, the awards and just everything. You truly made our dancers feel special and seen and our parents all felt the same. They left proud and happy and my 2 girls went on the whole drive home about how Elevation is by far their favourite competition they have ever done in 5 years running. I felt no stress the whole weekend and I am just beyond incredibly grateful to you and your team.
