We would like to share with you some really beautiful feedback we received after the show


Dear all

I felt compelled to thank you all following the success of another amazing show ! ❤️ , much like all the students involved I'm sure, literally loved every minute of learning and performing. She is so lucky to be amongst a group of girls 4 times per week, every week all year who champion one another, care for each other and laugh a lot together. This 'positive vibe' is created by the culture of HILDALE and the complete essence of the values and vision led from the top down, through the staff, to seniors, to younger students. This positive outlook is strengthened further in preparation and performing at the Show. Watching and learning how the 'big girls' interact and behave - role modelling at its finest.

Aside of this amazing culture that's shaping my daughters mind and empowering her in so many ways; we saw at the Show (to our untrained eyes) progress in ability , technically and performance skills too. We were blown away at her confidence on the stage, this has grown over the last 2 years. So fantastic to see !

Finally the show itself - the choreography , music choices, lighting, costumes....the list goes on were simply remarkable ! I loved being a small part of it and watching it is just my favourite occasion of the year!

Thank you ! A million times! You can't buy off a shelf what you are teaching ❤️ - it's priceless, her skill level, attitude to learning, role modelling to younger students, looking up to older ones, her experience of powerful, strong, clever and talented teachers, moulding and shaping her life experiences in the right way, for all this, I'm truly grateful !

Have a wonderful summer and well deserved break !
