RSS REHEARSAL 2024 🌟

What an absolute joy it was to share the studio with our beautiful team students today as we had our final .south.street.dance rehearsal in preparation for the prestigious competition in only 2 weeks time!

This year we invited our families to join us and share in this rehearsal experience. What a truly rewarding decision this was, as the studio was bursting with love, positivity and pride. After watching our incredible troupes I was not once, but twice brought to tears as I stopped to appreciate just how far we have grown over the past 16 years…

Congratulations to all involved and best wishes for a successful RSS 2024 🌟
