🇦🇺🏆 A NATIONALS TO REMEMBER. 🏆🇦🇺

Two dancers. Two journeys. And two very special moments at the top of the Australian National podium.

RUBY STANTON 💖🧡
14 Years AUSTRALIAN NATIONAL CHAMPION

ISLA FLEMING 💙🧡
12 Years AUSTRALIAN NATIONAL CHAMPION

What an incredible way to finish what has been a hugely successful year for both girls.

Ruby and Isla have represented our Academy with distinction throughout the year, both at home in Australia and on the international stage. To see all of that hard work culminate with both being crowned Australian National Champions is a moment we are incredibly proud to share.

Their journeys may be different, but the qualities behind their success are very much the same — talent matched by work ethic, determination, resilience and a constant desire to improve.

And beyond the results, we are incredibly proud of the example they set. They are wonderful role models to the younger dancers in our Academy and a reminder that the biggest achievements are built quietly, through the work put in week after week when nobody is watching.

For us as teachers, seeing Ruby and Isla standing at the top of their respective podiums was incredibly special.

Not because there were two titles to celebrate.

But because we know everything that went into earning them. ❤️

Congratulations, Ruby & Isla.

💙 ISLA FLEMING — 12 YEARS AUSTRALIAN NATIONAL CHAMPION 🧡

🏆🇦🇺 WHAT A YEAR. WHAT A CHAMPION. 🇦🇺🏆

The perfect ending to a hugely successful year for Isla, producing a beautiful performance on the National stage to claim the title of 2026 Australian National Champion!

What a year it has been:

🏆 Australian National Champion
🏆 Queensland State Champion
🏆 Australian International Oireachtas Champion

Three major championship titles in one incredible year. 🇦🇺✨

Behind every one of those results has been an enormous amount of hard work, consistency and determination. Isla has continued to grow in confidence and maturity throughout the year, and seeing that come together on the biggest stages has been incredibly special.

Isla, we are so proud of everything you have achieved this year and, most importantly, the wonderful young dancer you continue to become. You have worked incredibly hard for these moments and deserve every bit of this success. 💙🧡

An unforgettable year finished in the very best possible way.

💖 RUBY STANTON — 14 YEARS AUSTRALIAN NATIONAL CHAMPION 🧡

🏆🇦🇺 PERFECTION. FOUR IN A ROW. 🇦🇺🏆

A truly remarkable performance from Ruby to claim her FOURTH consecutive Australian National Championship title — with a PERFECT SCORE.

11 judges. 11 💯’s. 1100 / 1100.

2023 🏆 2024 🏆 2025 🏆 2026 🏆

Four consecutive Australian National titles — and this year, absolute perfection.

As incredible as Ruby’s achievements are, we are equally proud of the young person she continues to become. Her dedication, humility and work ethic set such a wonderful example, and she is an incredible role model for the younger dancers coming through our Academy.

Ruby, we couldn’t be prouder of you. You continue to raise the standard while inspiring those around you, and it is a privilege to be part of your journey. 💖🧡

FOUR-TIME AUSTRALIAN NATIONAL CHAMPION.
