🌎🏆 WIDA WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS 2026 🏆🌎
What a time it has been for Team Alana Rose… and honestly, I don’t even know where to begin 🥹💜
Behind every single result this week is months and months of hard work… 4 classes a week, fitness sessions, sore legs, early mornings, late nights — all while juggling school, university, exams, placements, and personal challenges that most people will never even see.
But what makes me most proud isn’t just the results… it’s the resilience, the commitment, and the way this team shows up for each other every single day 💜
The support, the laughter, the love — not just from the dancers but from the parents too — is something so special and never goes unnoticed. This is more than a dance school… it’s a family 🥹
And WOW… what a team result:
🏆 1 International Championship Cup
🌎 5 World Globes
🏅 Countless World Medals
