“Everybody’s really dedicated. The concert is a really exciting time for the students, they really love the performances,” Hamilton said.
“Audiences can expect to be entertained – we’ve got all age levels, three-year-olds to adults. The senior students this year are looking really great.”
“It’s so important to gets kids up and moving, it gets kids into a safe place.”
“Maybe they don’t have a great time at school and then the studios is a really safe place that they can come, they can be themselves and their always encouraged to try their best.”

Hamilton said there’s a whole range of emotions intertwined with each dance, shown through expression, the dance steps and concert pieces that tell a story.
