A weekend of epic proportions!
A team like no other!
On stage, backstage, front of house & everywhere in between, a truly special weekend that will remain etched in our memories and hearts forever.
On stage: Our dancers, from our youngest HSDer to our most seasoned performers, were nothing short of phenomenal. You took our audiences on a rollercoaster of emotions whilst supporting one another every step of the way. This is what HSD73 is all about. You have blown us away with your professionalism, dedication and commitment to bringing our choreographic visions to life. We are beaming with pride. 🥹
Backstage: Our incredible team of past and present HSD runners worked like Trojans, led by the absolute diamond that is Sal, who always has our backs! You moved our young HSDers around the theatre with precision and such great care. Our gratitude for you all is as high as your combined weekend step count!
A mahoosive thank you to our amazing team of chaperones, not only for volunteering and supporting us, but also for the extra time you’ve given to complete the chaperone process. Our HSDers had the best time backstage as well as on stage and that’s thanks to you.
We also want to thank all of our wonderful dressers for your time, care and support.
Front of House: Gail and team, you did such an incredible job that we ran out of programmes… BOOM! 💥 Thank you for your time and for being the smiling faces that welcomed our dance family & friends. 🙏🏼
WE COULD NOT DO THIS WITHOUT YOU ALL!
A huge thank you to the team at The Dancehouse for your hospitality and support throughout the weekend.
To our audiences, the love, encouragement and pride we felt from you was second to none. Thank you for cheering us on every step of the way. 🙏🏼
To every parent/guardian we thank you for choosing & trusting us & to anyone who has helped us in any way to bring this show to life we thank you greatly 🙏🏼
A very special thank you to Jenn Ennis for the phenomenal photography of this very special HSD73 production. You capture the essence of every moment, preserving memories that our dance family will treasure forever and for that we are eternally grateful. ☺️
A BIG SHOUTOUT to our incredible HSD73 Teaching Assistants – Pippa, Paisy, Kara, Lexie, Leigh, Liv, Hazza, HK and Becky – who give your time week after week to support us and inspire the next generation of dancers. We appreciate each and every one of you. 🙏🏼
Finally, heartfelt love and gratitude to the diamond that is Miss Paige. Thank you for your unwavering support and passion for the HSD73 family. We could not be prouder of you, PJ. ‘New Money’ was absolute perfection. 👌🏼 The vibrancy, confidence and joy from the girls, not only on stage but in the rehearsal studio too, is proof that you were born to do this. Keep inspiring, PJ – we know there is so much more to come for you. 🌟
To those we’ve sadly lost, we know you were dancing beside us and watching over us this weekend, we felt it. This show was for you too. Forever in our hearts.

We are so incredibly proud of our dance community. We have never felt so supported, encouraged, and so held.
Big love and respect to you all. 🫡
Our hearts are full. 💚💙
