Introducing our 2026 Competition Dancers ✨

This weekend, our beautiful dancers are heading to the Bendigo Eisteddfod, and we couldn’t be prouder of each and every one of them.

At Rise, competition is about so much more than results. It’s about stepping onto the stage with confidence, embracing every performance opportunity, doing your personal best, supporting one another, and creating memories that will last a lifetime.

The hard work, commitment, resilience, and growth these incredible young ladies have shown throughout the year has been truly inspiring.

Watching their routines come to life and seeing their confidence flourish has been such a privilege.

To our 2026 competition team, enjoy every moment, dance with your hearts, believe in yourselves, and remember how proud we already are of you.

No matter what happens on stage, you’ve already achieved something special simply by having the courage to get out there and shine.
We adore you all and can’t wait to cheer you on this weekend. 💗✨
