✨ ASMR: Costume Edition ✨

This year, we’ve taken some of our solo costuming in-house and there’s something incredibly satisfying about the sound of sparkles being added one rhinestone at a time. 💎

Can you guess what style of dance this costume is for? 👀

And for an extra challenge… 10 points if you can guess which soloist it’s headed to! 🤫

Drop your guesses below and enjoy a little rhinestoning ASMR while you’re here. ✨

Earlier this month was “Thank a Dance Teacher Day” and while this reel only captures tiny snippets, we wanted to shine a light on just how much happens behind the scenes long before a student walks in or logs on for classes or hits the stage at a competition.

Dance teachers are so much more than teachers.

They’re planners, organisers, music editors, mentors, drivers, costume designers, administrators, event coordinators, creatives, communicators and problem solvers. Some are balancing babies and businesses. Some are travelling regional roads. Some are preparing classes between everyday life. Some are training full time and chasing their dreams.

And there’s even one of us missing from this reel entirely, who is also down in Melbourne, spending her time either in the studio or settling into mum life 🍼

It takes an incredible team to keep the wheels turning, and we’re endlessly grateful for every teacher, family member and support network who helps create opportunities for our students week after week.

Episode 3 is live… 🎬

In Episode 3, Miss Elissa shares some beautiful reflections on our Distance Dance families. The support, commitment and encouragement that makes such a difference behind the scenes.

She also offers some gentle advice for dancers (and parents) navigating those moments of nerves because feeling nervous is normal and it’s all part of the journey.

A reassuring watch for anyone who’s ever doubted themselves before stepping up ✨
