What a weekend💙
Our very first time attending with our tiny team of 24 dancers, and honestly I don’t think we could have asked for a better experience.
We knew we’d be sharing the stage with some absolutely phenomenal schools, and the standard was unbelievable. Going into the weekend, all I wanted was for our dancers to perform their hearts out, have fun and make memories together!
Instead, we came away with so much more.
Not just incredible results, but the warmest support from our own HDA families, the other schools and their teachers, and the amazing EDC team. It was a reminder of exactly what dance competitions should be about.
To every HDA dancer… thank you. Some of you stepped onto that stage terrified. Some performed for the very first time. Some came home with awards, some didn’t. But every single one of you represented Heights Dance Academy with kindness, resilience and heart, and I couldn’t be prouder.
On a personal note, this weekend meant more than I can put into words. Three years ago, HDA was nothing more than a dream scribbled on a piece of paper. To now be standing alongside these incredible dancers and to receive the PRODUCERS AWARD amongst some of the most unreal schools is just mind blowing and I’m so grateful to call this my life 💙
Thank you to every dancer, parent, teacher, family member and supporter who has believed in HDA from the very beginning.

Bring on the next one,
Drew 💙
