Another year has flown by, and what a year it has been!!! With more soloists than ever before, we’ve shared a season full of excitement and growth. From eisteddfods and ballet exams to community performances, and even time spent filming and teaching our students how to perform for the camera, not just a live audience. Seeing the joy on their faces as they step off the stage or watch themselves on screen makes every challenging moment worthwhile.

Tonight, I want to sincerely thank you for trusting us with your children. We hope we’ve done you proud by providing a safe, supportive, and happy environment — whether your child dreams of dance as a lifelong passion or career, or simply loves it as a wonderful pastime shared with friends.

We do what we do as a team of dedicated professionals because we’re incredibly proud of the community we’ve built together. I hope that as you leave tonight, you feel inspired by what you’ve seen — whether your dancer performed for two minutes once, or whether you’re still trying to understand how they pulled off those lightning-fast costume changes side-of-stage!

Please know that every single student is important to us. They are all seen, valued, and celebrated, and our teachers have loved working with each and every one of them this year.

Every member of our team shares the same goal: to build confidence, creativity, and strong technical foundations in every student. Whether dance becomes part of their future or simply shapes who they become, we want our dancers to walk away with the ability to stand tall, perform with pride, and believe in themselves.

We truly believe dance can be a foundation for confidence, resilience, self-respect, and joy. All qualities that will stay with our students for life.

Thank you again for being part of our beautiful dance family. We hope tonight reminds you that at The Hills Dance Factory, you belong here. Enjoy every moment of the show.
